Amazing Experience with Dr. Roger Khouri’s Breast Reconstruction with Fat Grafting Post Double Mastectomy
History of surgeries:
I am a BRCA 1 patient with a very strong family history of Breast Cancer.
In May 2016, I had a nipple sparing preventative double mastectomy with expanders and immediate fat transfer.
In September 2016, I had a reconstructive surgery with implants and some fat transfer.
In March 2017, I had a lymph node removal surgery to remove 6 nodes from the right axilla.
In April 2017, I had a second reconstructive surgery to remove the implants and replace them with smaller implants and more fat transfer.
In October 2017, I had the third reconstructive surgery to completely remove the implant from the left breast and fully replace it with fat. The right breast had to maintain another smaller implant.
April 2018, last reconstructive surgery to remove the small implant from the right breast and fully replace it with fat transfer.
Problem:
After my reconstructive surgery in 2016, I developed a lump in my lymph node, which after extensive medical exams, we figured out the it was a reaction to the implants. Not only was my body rejecting the implants but they also felt like hard rocks stuck on my chest. I woke up every morning feeling pain.
Why Dr. Khouri:
Dr. Khouri and his team suggested the best option was to go implant free. Dr. Khouri is a pioneer in breast reconstruction using fat transfer so I chose to move forward with the procedure. I had 3 more reconstructive surgeries to make the implants smaller and adding more fat transfer. Currently, I am implant free and couldn’t be happier with the results.
Results:
I am ecstatic with the results so far. There is no comparison of implant vs implant free. My breasts look and feel so natural. Even with a shirt off, it is hard to tell that I’ve had so many surgeries. And the added value of having lipo on my thighs and back is amazing. I love how my body looks and though it was a long and painful process both physically and mentally, I am glad that I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy and to choose an implant free option.
The staff at MBC are all so amazing all the nurses including Blanca are like family to me! After every surgery, I had at least two nurses that paid close attention to me in the recovery room until
