I thought I'd share. My left breast has a tumor which has diminished it to almost flat. I was a size D. But what saved the day for me is I had a friend who was a plastic surgeon. He did my tummy tuck. And as a joke (this was before I had cancer) he gave me 4 silicone implants in a plastic container. As a going way joke I gave my medical teacher a breast implant and had a humorous story to go with it that I read out loud to those who attended her retirement. It was a hoot. I have 3 implants left. With my 2nd round of cancer, I put one of the implants in my lace underwire bra. Walla! It makes me look normal and even. I've worn it in my bathing suit (in chlorine pool), when I get dressed to go out and when I take a PET Scan. It works and didn't cost me a penny. If this one gets worn out I have 2 more. So you might ask your breast surgeon if they have any extra implants they don't want or they can't use. It might just fill that space!
