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...

Oh, Thank you Tonya for the reply.. My surgeon is not good with patients. Unfortunately my trust on her is declining continuously. in Public system they never give me a chance to speak to her after I changed my status as public patient of her.
I'll have no chance to ask her a question until I see her at the theatre door tomorrow just before the operation, but I decided to tell at admission that I did not agreed on mastectomy only operation. And I need to know why mastectomy cannot wait until infection gets clear (tiny little one which I have no inflammation, fever, redness) so that reconstruction can be done at the same time. I thought it might be due to RNSH is moving to new building and they close operation theatre for a month or so. If that is the reason then I'd rather do in private giving my mastectomy cannot wait a month. Or otherwise I started to think not to get mastectomy tomy at all and live with 5 to 8 % increased risk. Maybe that is also a good option compare to all the trouble with these people. As you said there are big surprises on each step I took and I am standing there totally lost.
