no expander at the time of mastectomy
I wonder if anyone knows if it is fine to wait some weeks to insert tissue expander after the mastectomy.....
Mastectomy and tissue expander insert was planned on 8/10. But my plastic surge...

You have had such a troubled ,uncertain time -you poor darl. I think you can have the expander put in later but I'd be like you and want it done with the mastectomy.It means another operation,more time off work and recovery. I have heard that some breast surgeons can put in the expander.Then later on the plastic surgeon puts the prosthesis in.Could you ask your surgeon if she can do it? Good luck for Monday if it all goes ahead.
