Mary Jo and I meet with MJ’s plastic surgeon, Dr Jacqueline Luong this afternoon for a “reduction” at the Midwest Plastic Surgery Burnsville office. This appointment was needed prior to Mary Jo’s planning session tomorrow with her radiation oncologist, Dr Kim McCollow. Apparently Dr McCollow needed the expanders reduced in size because they were interfering with the radiation fields. Dr Luong aspirated 100cc of saline from each breast expander.
The process is nearly the same as a fill.
Dr Luong uses a tool similar to a stud finder to locate the “port” which lies just under the skin. She inserted a long needle into the port and withdrew 100cc of saline fill fluid from both the left and right side breast expanders. This procedure is relatively painless and quick. We are looking forward to the planning session tomorrow and starting the next phase of treatment.
