Breast Tissue Expander Removal With Permanent Implant and Fat Grafting
Educational only: videos on MedicalVideos.com are for general information and are not medical advice. Always consult your own doctor about your health.
In today's video our patient is on the second stage of her breast reconstruction journey. Previously she had a mastectomy on the left side then we inserted a tissue expander to help stretch the breast tissue to create a pocket for the permanent breast implant that we are placing in today's video. On top of the breast implant we are grafting this patient's own fat into the breast to add a little extra volume and help it be more symmetrical with the other breast.
