Hi Claudia.... Expanders are uncomfortable! I am just under 2 months last fill... I am 650mls each... Sometimes it feels like the expander 'catches' early on, but that feeling does settle....although I never had a visible fold of skin...... If you are concerned you should call your surgeon... They may want to look at it .... I have been reassured that my expanders won't move as they are 'strapped' in by my chest wall muscle.... Wishing you all the best.... & please call your surgeon too for peace of mind
