Re: Breast Reconstruction - lipotransfer
My surgeon did say that there is no evidence to support either way whether there is or is not a risk of encouraging a reoccurence, but to be sure they do not do the procedure within 2 years of mastectomy/lumpectomy. There is of course all the usual risks of surgery.
As I had had 2years ned he was happy to do this.
Where I am they have only just introduced this technique and it is so far looking successful.
he also said that they hope in the future to be able to use this instead of implants under the muscle to give a better more natural result but I believe this is still in the early stages.
I did originally have a large tumour that was locally advanced and was considered high risk of reoccurence, I know my surgeon would not have done this on me if he felt I was at undue risk.
good luck with the weight loss.
