Double Mastectomy with Tissue Expanders. Left Side is Much Bigger - Normal?

Carole66Sep 17, 2010
i had a double mastectomy on aug 12 and tissue expanders put in right away. the left side has been getting much bigger than right. I had fluid drained on Sept 8 and it was still big so we did a scan did morning and the drs were ready to put a drain back in and no fluid was found. Is that normal? I haven't had any fills yet.

I am assuming that this breast was operated on recently.  The discoloration would either be bruising from the surgery possibly hematoma or it could be skin changes consistent with vascular supply or lack of. I would discuss this with your plastic surgeon ASAP. Good luck.
