Breast Shape

Thank you, that really does help. It never occurred to me to consider adjusting the unradiated side, but, that makes a lot of sense. It is the side that looks fake, feels fake too. I am considerably smaller than before reconstruction, which is fine. But, I really hope that I can end up with something that is not so obviously different on both sides.

I really like the surgeon I have now and I will do as you suggest and discuss all options with him. I think your suggestion of perhaps making the adjustments to the un-radiated side may really be a solution.

You are correct in assuming that the tissue expander was replaced with an implant. I was told I was simply not a candidate to use my own tissue for reconstruction. I asked if I could gain weight to do that, but, nobody seemed to think that was a good idea :) (Darn).

Thank you again for your answer. It was very helpful.
