Arm back lipo with fat transfer for breast reconstruction following mastectomy

I went to Dr. Vega after he was recommended by my female surgeon, to be part of my journey for my double mastectomy. I can’t say enough about him and his staff, in terms of their professionalism, respectfulness, compassion, and discretion throughout my process. Shoutout to Karen, Christina and Ann! Dr. Vega answered all my concerns and gave me honest and realistic expectations. I wanted the most natural looking outcome possible. We discussed options. We decided to start the reconstruction process by fat transfer from fat liposuctioned from my arms and upper back. Expected pain and stiffness, but this got better after 2 weeks, and only needed strong pain medication for a week. I have been so pleased with the outcome, the reconstruction feels natural, combined with the added bonus of having my arms and back no longer sagging and lumpy. Dr. Vega is truly an artist and cares about his work. I believe that the more you educate yourself beforehand, have realistic expectations and follow all their post procedure instructions, you’ll be guaranteed a great outcome.
