I underwent prophylactic bilateral mastectomies on Aug 20th with immediate tissue expanders placed. Thank God there were no complications. I noticed immediately after my surgery that my right expander is fuller/more muscle spasms and sits higher up in my chest. My left expander is flatter and placed lower and slightly more lateral. I am left handed. There is more muscle overlying the high positioned right one. I have had one fill of 30cc each -asymmetry remains. Is this OK?
