Asked By:RKat78 in Kansas City, Missouri

Fat transfer for breast reconstruction dying. This is my second fat transfer to my left breast for reconstruction with implant after mastectomy. About 9 months after the transfer, my breast started shrinking and has continued to shrink to the point where my left breast is a full cup size smaller than the right. It first of all is concerning me, secondly I want to know the best options to fix the issue. Increasing the implant size or more fat transfers. Or other options? Thanks!
