I had bil skin & nipple sparing mastectomies & reconstruction w/tissue expander & Alloderm on 9/23/15. Can the following be corrected? RIGHT breast: Expander extends too far into axilla; Nipple is not in center of expander pocket; Appears less full/less volume than Lt; Expander too high (higher than Lt); distance from nipple to inframammary shorter than Lt. LEFT Breast: lateral border w/area of skin tightness & adhered to expanders causing puckering fold; Lt breast pulled laterally. Thx!
