I was told lat. flap was my only option after implants failed but I got a second opinion at the Center for Restorative Breast http://www.breastcenter.com/ and they were able to use my upper hip area and get enough fat. I am beyond pleased with how things turned out. I had been expander prior to this and I had more issues/pain with the expanders than I have had with this surgery. I do have a scar acrossed my back (below my panty line) that is a think line and it is pink now. I just had this procedure on January 26, 2010 (so it's still new). My new breast feel wonderful and I am a good C which the surgeons who I spoke with up her told me that I might be able to get 2 small A's.

Good luck and if you have any questions I would be happy to help you.
