If, out of pure spite and anger, I decide to go about my life never again contacting anyone about replacing expanders with implants or just removing the expanders, what will happen with the expanders? Can I just leave them in there, even if they burst and deflate?

Answer: Life spam of breast expanders I am sorry that you are having concerns about your procedure and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern. In theory a tissue expander is not much different in principle to a saline breast implant. The only difference is that it has a metal device within it. It is usually rougher to the touch when compared to regular implants. This is a good reason to exchange them. Remember that the worse part of the procedure is done after you finish the expansion. The exchange of the implants is not as painful, nor as bad to recover. Finally, make sure that you have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in breast revisions. Wishing you the best in your journey

Answer: How long can expanders stay in? Expanders are considered to be a temporary device. They will eventually deflate, but the exact time frame is unknown. Most women don't enjoy the feel of the expanders because they are much more firm than normal breast implants. While we respect your decision to "go about {your} life," these devices will need to be removed.
