Risk of Sagging Skin if Tissue Expanders Are Filled More That Implant Size?

SFgirl2
Hi, I am in the process of reconstruction (nipple sparing BMX). My tissue expanders are at 250 cc, but my doctor plans to use 200 cc implants with about 1 cm lower projection. My TEs are too big for me now. They will be in for about 3 months. Will I be at risk for sagging skin after my exchange? Thanks!!
