No problem at all @Skbr 😊. I had similar, cos I had the two tumours in my rightie plus the satellite. My expanders were put in already filled. When my rad onco thought that only my right breast would be irradiated, she said it would need to be filled first cos the radiation shrinks the skin (and can thin it too). That way it would stay as big as my left one. But I ended up having them both done, so there was no need to inflate them more. For radiation I wore Mepitel film, cos my skin is also very sensitive. I’m very white, so I was freaking out. But I had no problems at all, cos it’s very good and protective. I’m not sure how the inside of the skin is, but the outside is fantastic. I also used and still use lots of moisturiser, and aloe vera gel straight from the plant. It works wonders. I skipped chemo.
I also replied to your PM.
Good luck with it all 🍀💖
