Preventive Mastectomy

Hi Sarah, I saw my plastic surgeon again today, just to check on my size and if I was happy etc. My size at present is 500 mls in each. He spoke of putting in an anatomical textured implant, about 1 cm narrower than my current expander. It will make me a C cup which is about what I've always been. ( I thought I was B cup, but my daughter and Dr say I am more of a C, so will stay with that ). The laser seems to be helping and I had another session today. Will fit in 2 more before Christams. My surgeon was OK with the laser. I asked him all about the exchange, and he said it is much easier than the first operation, and at most I will stay over night. My surgery is an afternoon case, and that is the main reason for the ovnight stay. I asked about drains, and he said no to these. The nipples he often does in his rooms under local anaesthetic about 3 months later, as it takes time for them to settle down. Should there be some tweaking needed of the implants, then a general anaesthetic is needed, and so he would do the nipples with this extra surgery. Which hospital did you have your tissue expanders placed in, and who was your doctor?. Love Chris xx
