Advice on cost of implant
Hi, I would welcome some advice about the cost of a tissue expander and implant. I've got 8 weeks of chemo left then will have a tissue expander put in before I start radiotherapy. It's a pretty tight...
I had a bilateral done through public health system through RAH in Adelaide and was done in 20 days ...for tissue expanders in. The changeover was well after chemo but done around 14 months after first procedure. They may plan differently because finished chemo and having radiotherapy. It might be best not waiting as long for changeover...that will be surgeons choice. It can be done by breast surgeon and not required to be a plastic surgeon for this procedure. I had really good results. Kath x
