Possible breast shape change

4 replies

I stupidly have never properly checked my breasts but after some recent health problems & surgery I checked a few days ago.
I have no lumps but when I lifted my right arm to in front of the mirror, I seem to have an unusual contour to the side/bottom edge of my right breast. I know I should make an appointment with my GP, but I’ve had so many visits this year already due to another issue, and I also can’t say for sure this isn’t the normal shape for me.
Do you think that any concerning shape changes would be apparent whether my arm was lifted or not? I’ve also lost a significant amount of weight this year, so could this possibly be a contributing factor?
I just really don’t want to waste the GP’s time.

chances are nothing

but would be utterly reckless not to have checked out

Thanks, I definitely need a kick up the bum! I’ll check again on Monday and if still looks the same I’ll make an appointment.

This is exactly what has happened to me. A loss of curvature at the bottom of my breast, looks worse when I raise my arm. I know I have to contact the GP but I'm under other specialists for asthma etc, I just can't face it.
I know what I need to do.

That sounds exactly the same@BlindBat You’ll need to let me know how you get on once you’ve been in contact with your GP.
Like you, I know what I need to do but I worry that if I am seen with things that aren’t a concern, that I won’t be taken seriously when there is! Honestly need to give my head a wobble!!
