Hi
I had a double mastectomy 18 months ago and can’t have full reconstruction. I have lots of dents and bumps and my oncologist suggested a lipfill process to inject fat to fill out one of the deepest hollows. Has anyone had this done or knows what it entails and how well it works? I’m concerned that the scar tissue will be too tight and i’ll end up with worse swelling either side of the scar.
thanks J
Hi there,
I had a recon nearly two years ago and developed some dents, last week I had this procedure done, I had a general and they sucked fat from the inside of my thigh, they clean it and then inject it into the dent - I had 40mls injected into my dent, I did have some amazing brusing on my thighs and they were sore, also the dent site is bruised and sore but after 1 week its all settling down. My surgeon said it woud take about 6-8 weeks to know if the fat will stay because I had radiotherapy to this site sometimes it can be reabsorbed, other than that I believe can give good results
Hope that helps
Jo
