What Are my Options for Filling an Indentation Left After Lumpectomy?

Asked By:234 in Indiana, PA

I have under the muscle silicone implants. My lumpectomy was 5 1/2 years ago. Can Alloderm or Juvederm be used to fill in an indentation area on the breast after wide excision lumpectomy?

Answer: An filler (Juvederm) would not be a good first choice. A dermal implant (Alloderm) may be helpful.
