Re: Fat Grafting

That was interesting. Any studies that show who progresses and the characteristics unique to this person and their cancer is certainly welcome.

I was not surprised at the BRCA2 progression and the sternal lesion on the 34 year old.

It seems that AFT is a prudent option for those with a lower risk of recurrence. Perhaps those with a higher risk should chose other options until more advances with cancer treatments are part of standard of care.

Has there ever been similar studies analyzing TRAMS, LATS and DIEPS?

Paula - I would expect BRAVA to have less fat necrosis. It is a similar concept to the VAC that I wore for 5 weeks, vacuum assisted closure to help a pocket sized wound heal. It was a huge pain dragging a pump around for weeks but I have no necrotic lumps and I suspect it inadvertently increased the breast size in the area of loss.

Very happy to see the recent studies of AFT.
