I would like to have the concave areas on my chest filled in with fat grafting. Is this possible? I just want some padding. How do I find a doctor that can do this?

Answer: Dr Kayser Thank you for your question. You would certainly benefit from fat transfer after mastectomy. There are variables that can have an impact on your outcome such as the amount available fat and, just as importantly, the quality of the tissue into which the fat is being placed. The biggest deterrents and limiting factor would be whether or not you have had prior radiation. Fat transfer would occur in cycles using external expansion with what is referred to as a Brava dome which is worn approximately 3 weeks before each session. Each session is then spread out every 3 to 4 months so you can expect that your elapsed time to completion could be as long as one to two years depending on the final volume you wish wish to achieve. There are many surgeons who do offer this procedure throughout the country and I would certainly encourage you to research this approach. Please see the attached video for this exact procedure on my site and should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our practice. I hope this helps and have a wonderful day.
