10 days post op Natrelle 410 FF 740 cc. Following double mastectomy. I was expanded to 660 cc. The left side was always smaller a little misshaped and had hanging stiking at the bottom, throughout the expansion all problems the plastic surgeon said would be corrected during the implant surgery. The left side is still misshapen, has hanging skin on the bottom, and an odd flat shape on the fold which is also very deep. Any advice about questions to ask during my visit nex Monday would be appreciated. Katie
