Saggy skin with tissue expanders after nipple-sparing mastectomy? (Photo)
LAF1974Jan 28, 2017
Two weeks ago I had a bilateral nipple sparing mastectomy with reconstruction with tissue expanders. They removed 372g from left and 402g from right. The ps was able to fill 300cc in each side of tissue expanders. I am worried about the right side - there is a lot of skin sagging. It wasn't as bad until I went to my first physical therapy session yesterday (not sure if there is a correlation). I have not yet had any subsequent fills. Will this sagging impact the end result? Thanks, LAF
