Renuva to fix rippling after a breast augmentation with implants?

Question

I have some rippling, and I do not want to go through another surgery. I found a doctor using Renuva to fix this issue. I was hoping to get some feedback on this .

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

In terms of your breast rippling, Renuva is very effective in smoothing the rippling you describe. For you, it’s even better – because you don't have enough body fat to do fat grafting, plus the treatment requires no anesthesia and is done right in the office.

REnuva has shown decent results in the hand and forearm with Dr. Coleman, who is one of their primary investigators.  My only concern would be the cost inefficiency, and the cost-limited volume available.

Renuva is a great solution to fix breast implant rippling, indentations and shape irregularities – such as squared-off implant pockets. Renuva effectively camouflages implant rippling with your body's own fat.When injected, it creates the Renuva matrix, a honeycomb-like scaffold that contains naturally-occurring growth factors and collagen, which are needed for fat growth – but only in the areas you want it. Over time, Renuva dissolves leaving only your body's own fat, for natural-looking, smooth and plump results!

Marc J. Salzman, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

Reneva  is being used in plastic surgery as an alternative to fat grafting. The extracellular matrix of fat, after injected, is thought to stimulate the growth of new fat cells. I have used this material in liposuction dimples with only modest success. It seems difficult to judge just how much fat will form from the small amount of injected material. It seems simpler to me, as well as cheaper to just use your own fat. Hope that's helpful.
