expander pushin in ribs

I have had a bilateral mastectomy and am in the process of reconstruction.

One expander is filled more than the other but does not appear to show more expansion.

My reconstruction surgeon has said that it is pushing inward on my ribs due to the radiation from a 2004 lumpectomy and the skin on that side does not have the same elasticity.

When the implants are put in I will have two different sized breasts!

Why can't he compensate for this by either putting something beneath the implant to even things out or perhaps place a larger implant on that side to equalize appearance?? After all, these are being created and thus there must be some creative leeway, right?

I'm sorry but only your Plastic Surgeon can answer this question. If you aren't happy with the way things are going then you ceratainly can seek a second opinion. One thought is that the problem wasn't evident until the implants were put in ... if it had been they perhaps they needed to be different sizes to compensate for the variation in the chest. This may be something that will have to be corrected by additional surgery at a later date. You might ask your Plastic Surgeon at your next appointment. I agree that surely something can be done to achieve a symetrical end result.  Regards ....
