I don't have a port but I did have just have my first tissue expansion and I have to say I did not feel a thing. No discomfort whatsoever. I didn't feel the needle going in and afterwards, no pain. Now - I am rather small to begin with so maybe that has something to do with it. I think I only need two "fillings". I have heard from others that it can be painful but that was not my experience. I hope you have the same.

my last fill was feb.4th an i have to wait til mar.21st to have my exchange an i still have my port in,my plastic surgeon said that he would remove it at the time of exchange so i would not have, to have more surgery

I had both and no it didn't change a thing do it but everyone is different but I don't think you will have a problem

I had a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. I immediately started getting fills every week. I was a DD, and I maxed out my expanders with the port in. I had the expanders removes and I got implant silicone installed. It's been a year since I had my expanders removed and silicone implants put in. I am cancer free right now, but my oncologist says because I had Triple Negative breast cancer, it may come back, so I have to keep my port in for two years. it does not bother me, so I am thinking to keep it in another year just to make sure Canced does not come back. I heard a lot of nightmare stories on infected ports

My experience was very painful. I had D cup size breast and had a bilateral mastectomy and a radical on my right breast so there was no flap to work with. My plastic surgeon said he could get my breast back to the same size. He lied by the third or fourth visit the right side busted and deflated. I didn't continue it was such a awful experience I couldn't do it again. So now I have a implant on the left side a prosthesis on the right side and also a small prosthesis on the left so they are the same size.
