How Do You Fix Breast Tissue Expanders That Have Folded or Buckled After the First Fill of 50cc?

Janno
I had tissue expanders put in immediately after my mastectomy with 50 cc in each. Two months later one of the expanders has folded or buckled causing some inflammation around the breast. How can this be resolved?
