Uneven Softness on Breast Tissue Expander

March 14, 2009
Asked By:goryes in las vegas,nevada

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomy with tissue expander reconstruction. I was filled with 350cc's. It was done about 3 weeks ago. The expanders feel kind of soft in some areas. Is this normal?
