How many cc?

Me 42 yo, DCIS, had my mastectomy right side only, after a lumpectomy, this was on March 24th and they left me with the tissue expander and 50cc.

As of today May 13th I have 200cc extra so 250 in total.

Before the surgery I used to be a 36D, 36in of breast around the fullest part, I’m 5’ and fluctuating weight around 116-120lbs.

The plastic surgeon office always said that they would fill it to the size I liked which I never felt so sure about because all I want is the “new boob” to match my other one. Meaning I can use the same cup size in both. I’ve been following the appointments and checking, the thing is that is the nurse practitioner not the surgeon that does the fillings. Yesterday she told me I had enough to match and I agreed but honestly I have doubts. They have called me to schedule my surgery and we did for July 7th, but I also asked to see the surgeon again for him to confirm that with what I have is enough to match, this after I told her that I do not trust my judgment. Important note, during my surgery they will also lift my other boob.

So here is where I please need your support, can you please share your experience, how did you know how much to expand? Especially when it was only one side trying to match the other. Is there anyone with similar size as me? How many cc did you have on the tissue expander? What implant size did they put you?

Thank you in advance to all. I feel nervous and overwhelmed, the lose of a part of my body and some of my autonomy during recovery; then taking the decision of reconstruction was not easy either, I feel like what the heck do I know if the expansion is enough or not, I never wanted to lose my boob 😭 I’m just trying to make it less bad for me.
Thank you ❤️
