Hi ladies,
I wonder if anybody else has a similar experience. Since I had very dense breast tissue and elected to have skin sparing mastectomy they had hard time excising on the right side and left me with some thin skin where the expander is not expanding. ON the left side they injected saline and was easier to cut away. SO now my expander look lopsided on the rightt. WIll the doctor be able to fix this when she puts the permanent implants. She says the skin has the tendency to bounce back and is not so sure what the final result would be. Kinda sad they are not completely simetrical :(
THanks
