Thanks for sending these. I have seen all these videos. I had a consult at Mayo recently. I was disappointed to learn that Mayo's practice is to place tissue expanders instead of doing direct implants the day of surgery. Doctors in the Twin Cities will do same-day implants but do not do sensation-sparing. Doctors at Mayo will do sensation-sparing but not same day implants. This is very disappointing for me. To have months of tissue expander maintenance followed by yet another surgical procedure to place the implants is very upsetting for me.
