when did you get your first TE fill? Just wondering timing. Just had my UMX and wanted to know when they will typically do your first fill.

    I had my first fill about two weeks after my BMX.

    19 days after bilateral mastectomy was my first fill of 50 cc’s. I had really thin skin a little spot of iffy skin on my nipple, which turned out to be just fine, so they delayed filling and initially filled slowly.

    I hope you have smooth healing!

    Thank you so much! I just left my first post-op appointment. They are watching my nipple area closely, but otherwise, I have my first fill Oct 10. Phew.

    2 weeks after my BMX, I had 100cc's put in. My expanders were empty before that.

    Good luck! Things look so much better as those things get filled up!

    My plastic surgeon was ultra cautious so 300 at the time of operation and then nothing. after I finished A/C chemo and 9/12 rounds of taxol switched plastic surgeons had 100x2, 150x2, and then 150x 1 in breast that would be radiated. Fills went fine.
