Can Some of the Fluid Be Removed from Tissue Expanders?

Annamae
I recently had tissue expanders put in on both breasts due to breast cancer diagnosis. I feel that they have been filled beyond the size that I would like my breast to be. Can some of the fluid be removed or do I have to stay this size?
