5'2 & 115 lbs. Planning over the muscle silicone with fat grafting, but will I end up w/ strange shape? recent double mastectomy NAC sparing w/ expanders. surgeon indicated Icould increase size, but nothing could be done about shape or NAC position/placement/ Areola size (newly seem huge/spread out). Different PS before DMx said he'd lift NAC appearance by implant placement alone. I'd be fine with periaerola lift if an option. *no chemo or radiation needed
