I just had my “exchange” surgery this week. It’s the oh so subtle name they give the reconstruction surgery … the one where they take out the temporary “tissue expanders” and put in the permanent implants. My daughter commented that she thought “exchange” was kind of a weird name for a surgery. As she said, “if you could do an exchange surgery, wouldn’t you trade in the tissue expanders for real breasts????”. Good point.
