I Had a Bilateral Mastectomy and my Surgeon Suggests 550cc Expander Inflation

I Had a Bilateral Mastectomy and my Surgeon Suggests 550cc Expander Inflation so that my breasts arent too far apart. I am 5'2 and feel that breast will be too large. I do NOT want large breast in fact before my mastecomy I had a breast reduction and still felt by breast were too big at a C cup. What size will I be at 500cc or 550cc? His nurse also suggest that I keep expanding to 600cc. I dont think they are listening to me that I want to be porportionate but dont want large breast.

A: Mastectomy Reconstruction

The amount of expansion after a mastectomy allows you very good control of what size you want to be. Generally the amount of expansion planned is given as a range but often we over expand to get more tissue. The final size of the implant can then be adjusted to the full amount expansion of less. Also remember that  though a number sounds big, it often signifies a smaller breast because you no longer have any of your own breast tissue after the mastectomy. Let the doctor know once your expansion process gets to a size you are comfortable with and remember the number isn't as important as how the breast looks on your body.
