    Hi Ladies,

    I currently have 250ccs in each tissue expander and, as you know if you've had them how uncomfortable they are. I'm not sure if that gets better as they are expanded with more fluid and become more rounded out or not. My PS said that the TEs are still not unfurled yet.

    My question is if any of you have reconsidered going through with the full TE expansion and switched to DIEP?

    My PS told me before my BMX that I would be a small C cup after surgery if I chose the DIEP procedure but that I could get implants too if I wanted them, if I thought I was too small. I was a D cup before surgery.

    TIA!!
