I had a mastectomy on the left with a tissue expander followed by a gel implant under the muscle. I had the right side reconstructed with a new implant (was saline over the muscle, now silicon under the pec) for symmetry. First they dont match at all so I need a third surgery. The cancer side looks awful when i use my pectoral muscle for anything. Can anything be done?
