Has anyone had - scar trimmed after mastectomy

I have a “man boob” under my arm at the end of my mastectomy scar. The breastcare nurse says it can be trimmed off, although some women like to keep it as a bra anchor. Anyone had this op and is it worthwhile?

What no one?

seems not Topper - although you’d have thought someone must’ve!!

hi topper

i’ve not had the op your talking about, but ladys have.
The extra skin is commonly known as a dog ear, and i’ve read about ladies who have it removed.
i think its just a simple op woth a local not general.

ask about dog ear removal in recon forum you may get more replys.

hope i’ve helped a little.
