Re: Liposuction reconstruction after lumpectomy
I had liposuction for a section of my breast after a mastectomy/reconstruction. One of the implants didn't "fit" as well as the other. Had it twice because the first time it didn't take.
It did not hurt in the breast but where the took the fat from (belly/hips) hurt big time because that's where they take the fat from with the canula (?). Go on youtube to see the procedure. My breast plastic surgeon did it, NOT my breast surgeon.
