I would like to use my own tissue to make left breast bigger and fat fillers for fullness to both breast. Don't want breast lift and want them to hang natural.

Answer: Partial breast reconstruction It is possible to use your own tissue tissue to reconstruct the volume lost following a lumpectomy and radiation. This would be considered partial breast reconstruction. Local tissue flaps from the flanks and back can be used to replace the tissue removed during the lumpectomy. Examples of these flaps include intercostal perforator flaps, thoracodorsal perforator flaps or partial latissimus dorsi flaps. Perforator flaps are successful, but are more technically challenging and you should look for someone with microsurgical fellowship training or extensive experience with these procedures. Fat grafting is also an excellent option to add additional volume to the breasts or treat contour abnormalities. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I authored the Oncoplastic Surgery section of our website and have attached a link for your review. All the best.
