About Breast Reconstruction With Autologous Fat Transfer Surgery

In most cases Elena recommends using this as a secondary procedure, after the main reconstruction has taken place, with either autologous tissue or an implant for breast augmentation.

How Can Elena Help With Your Breast Reconstruction

Elena can use fat from your tummy, buttocks or thighs. Fat is harvested using a small cannula, in a similar way to liposuction. The fat is taken out, washed and prepared, then injected in small volumes into your breast using small syringes and cannulas.

Suitability for fat grafting is a decision which we will make together following a long conversation and examination in the clinic. A second consultation is usually required in order to confirm the right choice. Once the decision has been made, we will carefully prepare for your surgery.

What To Expect From A Consultation

Elena will talk you through all the necessary pre-surgery investigations, as well as the after-care required. She will also fully explain the risks associated with the operation. We will only go ahead with the procedure once you are completely ready and happy with the choice we have made together.

Advice On Breast Implants

Since December 2018, many regulatory bodies around the World have issued statements regarding their own position and some have limited the distribution of other textured devices. The advice does vary from country to country because the research data available is limited and not conclusive. None have called for the precautionary removal or replacement of textured devices that are already inside patients’ breasts.

Breast implants however are not lifelong devices and in general will need removal or replacement at some point. In an effort to have more robust data about both conditions, the Breast and Cosmetic Implant register (BCIR) collects breast implant data for patients in England and Scotland. The MHRA continues to collect and analyse UK information through a reporting system. It also has links with up to date information from international public health organisations. The most recent advice from MHRA on BIA-ALCL was updated on the 4th April 2019.
