I have about 2-3 more times to go before I am finished getting fills in my breast expander. The PS says that after that I need to let the expander rest for 6 months before he exchanges the expander for the implant. I figure that will probably happen in Oct. or Nov.
The expander is very high up on my chest and the non-affected breast is very low on my chest. Getting dressed is a real problem. Right now, due to the colder Ohio weather, I have been wearing a tee shirt or polo shirt with a buttoned-down blouse (unbuttoned) over it to hide the uneveness. I can't really wear a bra - too uneven and uncomfortable.
I am going to the beach in June and normally would have worn my prosthesis inside the bra area of my swimming suit, but now, I don't know what to do.
Also, my son is getting married early Oct. I don't know why style of dress to try to wear for the wedding.
Any ideas on either or both problems?
Thanks!
Barb
