Time To Get Filled

November 27, 2013, today I will receive my first fill in my tissue expanders. My plastic surgeon suggested that I receive 300cc of fluid to stretch my muscle to receive a desired size of C cup implants. Today I will be receiving 100cc and every Friday, I will be receiving and additional 50cc until I reach 300cc. To fill my expanders, a needle was placed inside my chest to my expander. A magnetic device is used to find the precise location to insert the needle. Also, the needle was slightly pulled out of the expander, to reach my chest wall cavity, to remove any excess fluid build-up. Since my chest was still numb from my surgery, I didn't feel anything.
