Asked By:Gentle232 in Wingard, Saskatchewan, Canada

Hi. My expanders are very wideset which i assume impacts the little projection. Im worried about a few things but trust my PS that they will be able to correct when the expanders are switched for implants. They are 400cc expanders with 500cc filled. Was hoping to be a lot larger. Can the implants be brought in towards the center on my chest during the exchange surgery? And my second concern is the new pocket is much higher on the second side- can that also be adjusted?
