Coleman fat transfer to breast

Hi

Had diep breast recon in March 06 but has suffered from some fat resorption in the area where I had radiotherapy at the top clevage side of my breast.

My surgeon as recommended that they transfere so fat from (I assume my bottom area as that has the most fat on it) by way of liposuction, clean the fat and then inject into the flat area of my breast.

Has anyone else had this done? and what result you acheived - would really help to know

Thanks
Jo

Hi

I think this sounds like the lipo modelling that Super Sue has had. My surgeon would not do it for me due to the technique being new and the long term effects on the tissue not known but Eva Mithof-Weiler in Canniesburn has been the leading surgeon in the UK doing this - assuming we’re talking about the same thing.

Look for SuperSue just in case …

Good luck

Hi Jo,
I had this done to fill in 3 areas with ‘dents’. The fat came from around my hips…a bonus! I was very bruised, but otherwise it was a breeze, and very effective. As far as I’m aware, it can be done more than once, in stages. Mine was done by my PS some months after my DIEP.

Hi Helen,

We had our dieps done around the same time and both had a few problems - glad the fat transfer worked - did your hips stay slim?, I must say I quiet like the idea of that - they have take the fat off my tummy for my diep, just need to transfer my arse there now!
