Hi!

I am currently doing breast reconstruction. I've had expanders in since October 2020. I stopped filling them in December. Now I decided I want to go 100 ml bigger before the exchange. Can I still fill them?

I am meeting with PS next week.

Anybody else in this situation?

 

Thank you.

    Hello - I am also in the process of breast reconstruction.  I have had my expanders for one month. I was only able to have two fills because it started to stretch my skin too much. I don't recall how many cc's. As long as you were told you didn't have to stop with the fills, you should ask if you can get another fill.  You will probably have to wait longer to get the implants because they want to wait a certain amount of time from your last fill.  I was told at least three months from expander to implants. Hope all goes well for you!
