Moving a breast expander. Will it be possible to move it further down or is it fixed in place?
laurel7777May 20, 2022
I had a double mastectomy with expanders one was a delayed from prior mastectomy and one was straight to expander skin sparing. Due to incision opening on the delayed side the expander was removed and replaced through a further surgery. It went back in too high and now I am lopsided . If I keep constant pressure at the top of the expander with a stretchy band will it be possible to move it further down or is it fixed in place? Alternatively will this problem be rectified at exchange surgery?
