Breast Reconstruction with Tissue Expanders

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: D cup possible after breast reconstruction with expanders?

I've been diagnosed with multifocal, high grade DCIS which requires a mastectomy. I have always been very busty (34DD at age 15 and 34F now). Is it possible to be a D cup after breast reconstruction with expanders?

It is most likely possible to achieve what you desire as it sounds like you have a lot of skin to work with.  It is also very important whom does you mastectomy and how it is done.  So dont take the mastectomy part for granted.

Tissue expander reconstruction is a common type of breast reconstruction, one that I do a lot of, but it is not without risks.  So you must be aware and take caution.

Good luck.
