This is such a personal decision that requires careful consideration with your medical team. Many people face similar concerns about symmetry after breast cancer treatment, and it's completely understandable to weigh your options for achieving the results that feel right for you. Your surgical team can help you understand the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes of additional procedures so you can make the choice that aligns with your goals and overall health.

If it is bothering you I would say yes do it. I would research several doctors/centers to increases the chances to get it right. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the following center. They do many types of procedures and do them regularly. Which typically correlates with their expertise. They are very open to questions and doing the insurance verification. Obviously there are several other surgeons, but they may be able to give you a point of reference. Best wishes🙏🏽 I know that there is a Center for Restorative Breast Surgery 1717 St. Charles Ave New Orleans La The only other center is in Beverly Hills
