Reconstructive surgery due to double mesectomy. Age 45. Was a B cup size prior to mesectomy. Want to know the medical fluid amount to accommodate a C cup size. Can I ask to expand more? What would be the medical issues in doing so? Last expansion on June 2, 2016. Can expanding further be safe for me?
