Hello, I only had mastectomy on the right side. Also, I was able to get my permanent implant during first surgery and then last month my surgeon reduced the left and did revision on the right. I have heard over and over again how ppl feel so much better with the implant!! Glad I missed the expander part of this journey. The implant gets tight sometimes at the end of long day. Nerves and stuff coming alive my dr. Tells me.
