I had bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and immediate tissue expanders placed 6/29/15. The surgeon only places 250 cc expanders and he has already filled them 150cc. I am 5'5" and 120 lbs. I was a small B before surgery and wanted to be a small C or full B. Will we be able to achieve this with 250 expanders? I am very healthy and active person and only spent one night at the hospital.
