Re: Breast Reconstruction - lipotransfer
Ellie,
I've had a TRAM with a partial loss and a revision.
I don't want the reconstructed breast increased to the size of the original breast (who needs a set of double FFs at my age, lol).
But I do want the revised breast to be about 1/2 to 1 cup size larger before the other side is reduced and lifted. This is about the size the reconstruction breast would have been before the partial loss.
I'm not in a hurray, I'd like to lose a little weight before I finish the reconstruction process.
I've been chatting a bit with KK Louisiana. Any one else use lipotransfer or autologous fat transfer?
Thanks
