I had expanders, then later implants placed. At the time of the implants placement, my plastic surgeon did a small amount of fat grafting to improve the symmetry and shape. The implant placement and minor fat grafting was a short outpatient surgery. I only needed over the counter pain meds for a couple of days. I felt so good that I had to remind myself not to do too much until all healing was complete. For reference, I am 61 years old. I am a teacher and missed only 4 days of work (day of the surgery on a Friday, then M-W of the following week.

Under muscle and yes he told me ahead of time and pointed on my chest where he would recommended improvements.

@A MyBCTeam Member Thank you for sharing! Were you aware that the fat grafting would be done? My plastic surgeon hasn't brought it up at all, however I have another appointment next week and want to make sure I understand why it is done. Also, are your implants over your chest muscle or under? Thanks again!
