You will receive a temporary tissue expander at the time of your mastectomy. During a mastectomy, the surgeon cuts the chest muscles and place a tissue expander below the chest muscles. The team will periodically inject salt water into the tissue expander. They do this for over a few months, as a result, the tissue expander expands thereby stretching the breast muscles. When the breast muscles are expanded to the desired size, the tissue expander is removed in the second operation and this will increase the size of your breast.
