Enlargement of Reconstructed Boob NEW

Three weeks after the op I had my first expansion appointment. The procedure is very straight forward with the doctor simply inserting a needle into the valve/port that is attached to the the implant and injecting saline solution to expand the implant.
There was 225 ml capacity remaining in the implant and they would do this over a couple of visits. 100 ml today and then they would reasses the size comparison when I returned. Basically this is because the newly constructed boob’s skin needed to stretch with the implant increase.

It was the most bizarre feeling and it was exactly as I imagined it would be – like a balloon being blown up inside my boob – I felt like I did when I was breast feeding and my boobs engorged, I used to call them my Pammies, it was the same sensation but only in one boob. Its really strange though as my other implant was a set size I was really concerned that they would over expand it and I would be lobsided.

When one boob is tight and feels stretched it feels bigger even if it doesn’t look bigger and I was convinced they wouldn’t need to put any more in. More worryingly I only had a week and a half until I was going on holiday and wanted my boobs to be as equal as possible.
After the op they were quite evenly matched but as the swelling reduced there was definately room for improvement size wise on the reconstructed size.

A week later I returned for them to see if they could or should put any more in, they had said that often they over expand it then take some out again once the skin has stretched. I wanted to avoid this at all costs.

The doctor that expanded me this time was a young Scottish guy and he was really funny. He said as he was injecting the saline “There is something quite satisfying about watching a breast grown right infront of your eyes!”. That did make me chuckle. They managed to put the remaining 125ml in and thankfully I didn’t look lopsided, I did however feel very buxom all of a sudden and walked away from the hospital in the sunshine, in a vest top feeling really pleased with my new ‘rack’.
