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.
