Thank you for your question and picture. I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your reconstruction. I recommend discussing your concerns again with your plastic surgeon and communicate your goals and desires. Best of luck.

Tissue expanders have a metal port which act as the fider for the magnet used to establish the location where the injection needle will be placed. This is also why a MRI should not be performed with anyone with metal inside of their body since the MRI is a also BIG magnet and can completely...
