    Breast reconstruction
    I had a bi-lateral mastectomy almost 3 years ago. I had the saline expanders for almost a year as we went from inverted to a 36C. It was really interesting to see things get bigger. To give you a better idea, there is 500cc's of fluid (just over a 20 oz bottle of pop) on each side. Even though I had the cancer, I kind of count it as a blessing also. I have wanted a breast enlargement for MANY years...but could never afford it. With having the mastectomy, insurance HAD to pay for the reconstruction. I took advantage of it and came back "bigger and better than before". If you need anything, don't hesitate to message me. I'm here.
