The first month I had my expanders they did hurt. When I went in for my first fill, they immediately felt better. My plastic surgeon told me that sometimes there is a wrinkle in the expander that can cause some discomfort.
I know you might think this is odd, but right after I got my first fill I found out I was stage IV, and I went through a period where I thought there was no point in continuing with the reconstruction. I suppose it was a part of my depression. So now, a year out, I still have my expanders in there with just two fills. Im just now to the point where I am scheduling my next fill, and the doctor says I am about halfway finished. Anyhow, my point about that is that heavy restricted feeling doe not really go away even after a year, although you do adjust to it a bit more.
