We are not defined by our breasts. Four women share how their relationship with their breasts changed after surgery.
. "Are you no longer a total woman? Can you still be sexy when the organ that has come to ooze sex appeal is no longer there?" Lincoln asks.
I found my lump one night while breastfeeding my daughter. It was a time when I felt like my body finally made sense. I developed breasts early and they caused problems for me: in middle school my friends seemed jealous of them. I got a lot of unwanted attention. My relationship with my mom was strained and it was made worse when my body developed. This followed me through my 20s into my 30s. But pregnancy and then breastfeeding made sense.I opted for a unilateral.
I feel proud of my flat side. My ribs show and I can feel my heartbeat in my palm when I put my hand where my breast was — I like that. I feel closer to myself without a breast there. I am very indifferent regarding my breasts. They're numb and, though they look natural, they don't feel likeWhile I expected to have to get used to my new body, I was surprised at how much I needed to unravel my association of my former breasts with my sexuality, my self-esteem, and my womanhood. Women are sexualized from a young age, our breasts are a major part of that equation.
When I look at my wedding photos I almost feel like an imposter because I no longer have pieces of me that I had on my wedding day. Prior to my mastectomy, I threw a party at my house and wore the most low-cut dress I could find. I wanted to remember my 27-year-old breasts and I wanted to celebrate that I may never be able to wear something like that again without scars showing.
