Although implant reconstruction is a popular option, its sometimes not the best option.  This is particularly true in your case. The tissue expanders look uncomfortable and displaced.  The better option for your breasts would be to reconstruct your breasts using your own fatty tissue....

The implants do look different in a breast reconstruction patient as your native breast tissue is gone.  I always will offer fat grafting to my implant reconstruction patients as that can help give a more natural and fuller look.  Best wishes!

Hello. Thank you for your question. I realize you asked this back in 2018 so I wanted to see if you were able to see an MD and what the outcome was.
