Tissue Expander Fill Time

So, yeah. Those needles look HUGE, but keep in mind two things. First, I'm mostly numb. And second, it has 50 cc's of saline in it, and that takes a large syringe. I'll be stuck with these things 5 times. My tissue expanders were placed with 400 cc's of saline at the time of my mastectomy. I'll get 100 cc's at each appointment - hopefully in 5 consecutive weeks - to get up to a total of 900 cc's in each side. At that point, I'll be overfilled, and ready for more comfortable silicone implants.
