I had a fat graft to try and correct my tuberous breast condition. The treatment failed but worst of all l lost all fat on my hips, flanks and lower abdomen leaving me with a boxy shape where before i had a very curvy shape and well balanced fat distribution. I have more loose skin now and miss my old shape very much. Could Renuva restore lost fat? I'm afraid of doing another fat graft and have relatively thin arms and legs.
Answer: Restoring shape I encourage you to begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns. There may be better options available depending on the amount of volume that you are wanting replaced. For tuberous breasts the best option is implants to improve overall shape. A lift is often recommended as well for optimal results.

Answer: Restore my natural shape I understand the fear of doing additional procedures when one has not had a positive experience. Ultimately, one must be comfortable proceeding with any procedure before undergoing even a minimally invasive procedure. With that in mind, sometimes the best treatments do involve revision surgery. I have found that the combination of using a skin tightening device such as Bodytite or Quantum helps to create wonderful shapes and curves that may be missing at the current time. In addition, further fat grafting as needed may be of benefit - but it is hard to say with certainty, without seeing someone in person.

Answer: Liposuction You did not post photos, so I would suggest meeting with a plastic surgeon and discussing your options. for the tuberous breasts, implants work the best because they will add volume but also correct the shape. Fat does not correct the shape and does not always last.

Answer: Disappointed with Liposuction outcome I’m sorry you had a bad experience from your previous procedure. If you want us to make an assessment, then you need to include proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. Fat transfer is not a good procedure to correct to breast breast. In fact, breast fat transfer is not a good procedure at all for changing breast shape. Delivering consistent quality, liposuction, and or fat transfer results is more difficult Then most people realize. The number of plastic surgeons who approach mastery for this kind of work is quite small. I cannot emphasize the importance of provider selection for any plastic surgery operation, but especially body contouring. It may or may not be possible to improve your outcome. We can’t really tell without seeing pictures. Find the right plastic surgeon is not at all easy or straightforward. To find the right provider. I generally recommend patient have multiple in person consultations. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures for whatever procedure they are recommending. Take care notes during each consultation, especially regarding the quality and quantity of before and after pictures. There’s no correct number of consultations needed to find the right provider. The biggest mistake I see patients make is having only one consultation and then scheduling surgery. Revision work in regards to lip section is more difficult and primary procedures. The importance of provider selection becomes even greater for those considering revision work. It may be possible to improve your outcome and it may also be very difficult. Your situation is complex because you’ve had previous surgery. For that reason, I recommend you rely exclusively on in person consultations, avoiding all forms of virtual consultations.
