Hi Shelia: I had the same proceedure you did. (Expanders then saline implants) Unfortunatly the radiation I had to have after chemo really fried me and distorted the one breast (I had the other breast removed as a preventative against developing cancer at that sight.) I had to have 2 surgeries but now look OK with clothes on. My plastic surgeon calls radiation the gift that keeps on giving and says at a future date I may need to go to a tram-type proiceedure if I have too many problems with scar tissue. I elected to not have nipple reconstruction because I figured I had spent half my life trying to cover them up when I wore shear clothes why would I deliberatly put them back on! LOL It's been 2 months since my last surgery and I still am experiencing significant pain at times. I hope this resolves itself with more time. Best of Luck. Take Care, Linda
