My Exchange disappointment

christiekoe

I had my expander to exchange surgery 5 days ago. The surgeon used smooth round implants. While I'm pretty pleased with my right side (kinda hoped for a little bigger) I'm pretty disappointed with my left (cancer) side. My surgeon did some fat grafting and the contour above my right breast looks amazing and full but the left side don't have near as much contour and even is slightly higher. I'm so confused as to why it looks this way and will probably call the office tomorrow. Maybe because the cancer side has to have fat grafting done in multiple sessions? I'm just not sure and didn't realize it until today as the swelling finally has subsided a little. Has anyone else had this issue? I was so hoping that this would be my last time with surgery for a while but I definitely don't want this result.

Maybe there was more aggressive scraping away of fat from the cancer side than the noncancer side which would require more fat grafting to smooth that out? Definitely speak up, you don't have to live with a bad result. Sorry you have to do more, I know what that's like, wanting to be done. Good Luck.
