I have cancer in one of my breasts and I am planning a mastectomy. I have been going back and forth over whether or not to have breast reconstruction and I think I have decided now to go ahead with it. I was recently doing some research and read where most women have to go through multiple surgeries to reconstruct the breast. Why is this? Can it ever be done in just one surgery?

: I swear I have the worst breasts on this planet. I am 25 years old and I avoid intimacy and bathing suits and anything that will make me show my breasts. I would like an implant, probably saline. If I choose a certain cup size, can more saline be injected into the implant later to enlarge the cup size?
