Will my breasts look or feel differently after breast cancer surgery? Dr Pragnya Chigurupati - Video

Post breast surgery or lumpectomy the breasts look similar to earlier. But when a large tumor is removed from the breast, the breast may look smaller or different. Numbness is noticed in the arms if lymph nodes under the arms are removed during surgery. A few patients may experience phantom pain on the side of the breast that is removed. Usually, these pains are observed in patients who experience breast pain before mastectomy. After reconstructive breast surgery the shape of the breast is retained and scars may develop at the site of reconstruction.
