posted on behalf of new user Marissa26
Hi, I am 18 years old and about 4 weeks ago I had a breast lumpectomy. My surgery went well, I had little pain, and it confirmed that the lump was a benign fibroadenoma. I have never had the best self confidence with my body. However ever since the surgery it has gotten significantly worse. I got the incision around the top edge of my nipple so that the scar would blend in better in a few years. I am having a really hard time dealing with one breast being significantly smaller than the other and the nipple with the scar being significantly larger now than the other. It just makes me feel ugly and I know I should be grateful because I have it better than most who have to have breast surgery. I am, but it's a change on my body that a 18 year old would never want. It makes me afraid to show my body to a man in the distant future in fear of him not understanding why I'm disproportionate. In addition to my low self confidence, before my surgery they found another smaller fibroadenoma and decided that this is the way my body reacts to hormones. So I may need surgery again in the future because this lump is higher up on the breast and they cannot tunnel from a more concealable area. This is all very stressful to me, so if anyone is willing to give any type of advice to help me understand and accept I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for allowing me to vent and seek advice. -Marissa
