Re: Fat Grafting
Dear Jackie07 and Lani,
thank you so much for all the research data!
It will take some time to sift though all the articles and form an opinion.
Seems that fat grafting takes a long time and the process is not rather unpleasant. I wonder how the resulting breast looks and feels in the long term.
I had an expander put in during the mastectomy, and later I heard about the fat grafting. I want to reconstruct, but I am uncertain about implants (water vs. silicone) and I am curious about the fat grafting procedure.
Need to make a decision pretty soon, and don't know which one!
appreciate your support
best regards
