Hi everyone! Just have a question? How do you know when to stop getting injections in your expanders? I was a D before my bi lateral surgery and am not sure I want to go that big again? I don't want to go too small either? I'm 34 yrs. old, married with 2 kids, they don't care what I look like. They're just glad I'm around! I think it's more of a mental thing with me and my appearance. Just wondered if anyone had any help?

Hi Sue, My PS told me to look at myself in the mirror with a tee shirt on and tell her when I was at the size that I would like to stop at. Then your PS may possible do and overfill by 100-150cc for room to do the surgery. Unfortunely it is not an exact science. You might want to stop at a C cup depending on your body build. Everyone is soooo different. I am expanded to 335cc and that is a C cup on me. I would like to end up a full B or a small C. Talk to your PS about this, and what size that you want to end up and what your expectations are so that you are both on the same page. Good Luck, Kerry |

Thanks girls! I haven't been on for awhile and I think I'll just keep goin till I feel best. I just hear everyone say they wanted to be a C and ended up a D? Is that from the overfill? Dx 2/1/2008, <1cm, Stage I, Grade 1, 0/4 nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2- |

I have quite the opposite problem. I was an A and now am actually excited at the prospect of having bigger breasts!! I have expanders, only two weeks in. Not sure what a full B would look like on my frame (5'8 @ 145 lbs.). I'm afraid a C would make me look like Pam Anderson, haha. And magazine pix don't help at all. |

LOL tmac! Your very lucky to be that little! I just received some frustrating news, my expander is leaking and my ps has to replace it. He says it won't set me back but it's still the fact that I have to heal again! UGGH! I think i might just stop here. They say i'm about a full B to small C, I don't know we'll see.

I stopped at a full C (34C). I too started out an A so was excited to have matching, larger boobs. My PS suggested stopping at a C for me due to my frame. Maybe your PS can help with that? Mine made me decide BEFORE they even started filling the expanders. |
