Breast Reconstruction: Q&A
Ask a QuestionCan Fat Grafting Be Safely Performed in DCIS After Lumpectomy and Radiation?
I had DCIS, lumpectomy and rads in 2008. In 2011 I had tissue expanders and exchange after six months of painful expansion. Six weeks later the wound opened on the cancer breast and I had implants removed. Over one year later, and after a total of four and a half post rads, and the breast has shrunk more and also develped spider veins/ugly red spots at the tumor spot. Can fat grafting fill in the divot and is there a higher risk of recurrence in DCIS patients?
