Breast cancer reconstruction patients: what does it mean when the doctor can't "find the magna site"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Injection Site: Staged reconstruction with tissue expanders involves slowly injecting the expanders with saline (salt water). One type of expander has a magnet adjacent to the injection valve and a special (needle) finder to make injection easier.
