Since I don't have any implants (a lumpectomy was done). I just was wondering if they would think it was foolish to worry about making the other breast match the one that was operated on, since it's not a huge difference. When I was first diagnosed I figured "what the hell", I probably won't be alive long enough to care. But now I am reconsidering this and would like to have breasts that are symetrical. I have a good plastic surgeon, so I think I will contact him and see what he thinks..sherryg
