I had expanders put in last Monday, as part of  male breast enlargement process to enlarge my breasts. After decided on geting my breast enlarged and finding a surgion to perform the procedure I looked at pics and didn't lke the resutls of what I saw.  I want a very natual looking result and seeing pics on the internet the did not look that good. It was determind by my surgion that to achieve the results I wanted, I would need to had expanders out in to expand th pocket under the muscle to create he room needed for an implant to look good, unless I wanted to go wih a very small implant. The surgery went ok I was alittle sore but nothing bad, the incisions are still alittle red and tender not too bad now. My surgion filled the expanders 75ccs all I feel now is a hard lump under my chest. I came home wrapped up, but after my first visit I was unwrapped and wenthome that way my sterri strips came off and I am able to shower and all. I hear alot about the pain assocated with expanders how long does that last between fills? I go back to my Doc next week for my first fill. How many ccs did you everyone get each time they went in? I am not sure of the exact size I want or the amount of ccs  I guess I will decide that as I go along  I am 5 11 189lbs. any help or suggestions would be greatthanks:)
