Hi, I am 2 months 3 weeks post op having fat transfer from my arms to the breast. I developed something that looks like a mondors cord from my armpit down the inside of my arm. I have been using a handheld vibrating massage device (from just 2 weeks ago) under my armpit pressing on the cord to try loosen it. I've noticed a loss of volume of fat lately in my breast, could this be because of the vibrations coming from the device? (I havnt placed the device in my breast but the vibrations travel)

Thank you for your question. Breast augmentation using Autologous or your own fat is a particularly good option for patients who do not want a dramatic increase in volume. You can expect generally to have a one cup size increase permanently after the procedure.
Brava devices work well to prepare breasts for fat grafting..especially in someone who has tight skin. With explantation surgery it sounds as if you had some laxity created. When things go well the retention of volume post-fat grafting approximates 60-70%. I think by the time...
