I'm currently halfway through chemo for breast cancer; the plan is for bilateral mastectomy afterwards. I'm quite intrigued by the total fat transfer approach (sometimes used in conjunction w/Brava system) & would love to find someone on west coast who has experience doing this. I'm reading so many negative comments on the online discussions about tissue expanders, any kind of implants, ripples, unevenness, etc. Very unhappy women! 100% fat transfer might help avoid these issues.
I am a firm believer in breast reconstruction with fat, and have just completed bilateral mastectomy reconstruction with only fat on my own wife. On the West Coast I would recommend you consult with Dr. Joel Aronowitz in LA. BRAVA is essential for the most efficient reconstruction, allowing reconstruction in 3-4 procedures vs 7-8 procedures. My wife and I can speak first hand regarding this procedure and the BRAVA etc if you like.
What are the best breast reconstruction methods, for a natural look and reduced visibility of scar tissue? I want to look as normal as possible and live as normal a life as possible after the surgery. The final appearance of the reconstruction both with clothing on and off is extremely important to me, as I'm just 26.
You may want to seriously consider fat micrografting for reconstruction of the breasts after mastectomy. It is a completely natural and 100% outpatient procedure without additional scarring and without implants, and the added benefit of liposuction for body contouring. My own wife has undergone this procedure. We perform this procedure in our federally certified ambulatory surgery center, and are able to work with your insurance company for coverage.
