Breast reconstruction question ? fat transfer to build up my breasts

April 13, 2023
Asked By:booboo32 in United Kingdom, GB

I had a nipple sparing mastectomy in 2017 which was direct to implant ... I would like to use fat transfer to build up my breasts . As I've had nipple sparing does that mean I have a small amount of residual breast tissue under the nipple? As I have no breast tissue would transferred fat survive in my breast? I assume it requires a blood supply which I assume can be obtained via the skin ? I've heard conflicting opinions but assume it's a viable technique as it's now widely used in recon.
