Re: Breast Reconstruction: Bravia Procedure-looks way easier and less painful

It's great to be able to pool info. Thanks.

It sounds like some mastectomy patients have a hard time maintaining suction with the BRAVA (versus those with breasts seeking enlargement) and have to be very careful about skin integrity during that phase.

I wonder how the risk of fat necrosis compares with the trans flap procedure.

Just briefly glimpsed at these two links--

Neopec is currently in clinical trial with humans. It involves the placement of a biodegradable chamber within the breast pocket, along with some fat stem cells and veins.

Here's a forum for BRAVA fat graft patients worth investigating.
