Advanced fat grafting gives hope to women with breast surgery

Women, who have undergone breast conserving surgery that involves subsequent radiation and lumpectomy, are placed in a very unfavorable condition.
First and foremost, the removal of the portion of the breast where a cancerous tumor is located is already a sure-fire way to get women’s breasts look disfigured.
Second, exposure to radiation makes the skin and supporting breast tissue weak, thus breast reconstruction through the use of a breast implant is almost impossible. Aside from that, radiation also hinders the healing process of any type of reconstructive surgery.
So, is there still hope for women after breast conserving surgery? News Sun says there is. Here’s what it has to say:
Research is finding new hope for women who have undergone breast conserving surgery and want to restore shape and beauty to their breasts. Highly specialized fat grafting techniques can reshape a breast where lumpectomy created a defect. Even more promising, the stem cells within the fat may rejuvenate the strength of breast tissue and skin that has been radiated, to the point where reconstruction with an implant is more probable, and more likely to provide positive results.
Though that sounds good, it doesn’t come without limitations and risks. The procedure is not for every woman, thus, you need to consult your surgeon and discuss this thoroughly if this suits you or not. Given the fact that this specialized fat grafting needs a higher level of expertise, make sure you only consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform the procedure. Lastly, general anesthesia is employed, thus, swelling and bruising are likely to transpire.
Nevertheless, advanced fat grafting techniques provide an avenue for women to reconstruct their breasts after breast conserving surgery. Women can now look forward to having their breasts recovered and to live a normal life.
