I had a left breast mastectomy and have an expander in place. Approx 100 cc of saline was injected one month post mastectomy. More injections will follow in the coming weeks. If I continue getting more saline to the desired outcome (C cup), then replace it with an implant, will left breast even out with the right breast? I plan to get an implant in the right breast too. My concern is how high left is currently and for future injections and implant.
