The advent of lipofilling in breast reconstruction allows breast reconstruction using only fat grafts (without an implant or a flap). This is a natural and sustainable technique without additional scar. Liposuction of excess fat deposits has also the advantage of improving the silhouette. In selected cases, the external expansion system for tissue preparation (BRAVA) can be used in order to relax the chest area and promote better take of the fat grafts.
The intervention is performed under general anesthesia, and you are discharged the same day or the next day. This operation is covered by the insurance.
