Breast reconstruction after surgery in 2009. Have had episodes of pink, hot, swelling, fever, pain. Any opinions?

No, generally it is not common to get a blister after expansion. A blister could represent underlying tissue necrosis and it is best to meet with your plastic surgeon.

Yes, cigarettes can impact surgery even if you smoke occasionally and a few weeks before surgery. Best to review with your surgeon.

This is an example where a photograph would be very helpful. I'm not quite sure what you mean in your question. We do try to avoid doing breast lifts on radiated breasts. Fat graft can be helpful to add some volume but not large volume changes, at least in one surgery. Please resubmit
