Finding others who've navigated reconstruction after larger tumors can provide valuable insights about the healing process and what to expect. The concerns about tissue expansion and proper healing are understandable questions that many face during this journey. Consider connecting with others in this community who may have similar experiences, and don't hesitate to discuss these healing concerns with your surgical team who can provide guidance specific to your situation.
