Hi everyone I'm on a waiting list for delayed reconstruction with implant though I'm not sure if it is what I want as I'm worried about it rejecting  infections etc.  I had mastectomy and full lymph clearance November 2016 for an aggressive Grade three and recurrence fears are my biggest issue  Due to the time gap and radiotherapy my surgeon is doing Lipo twice from tummy fat and then an expander  He said it will take about nine months with four anaesthetic. 

I've tried to just go with it for once but of course have done my usual googling and worrying does anyone know the safety of Lipofilling or anyone had this with good results Thankyou .

    Hiya sorry i can't really help you with this as my reconstruction was done using my back fat and muscle but i'm hoping by me responding to your post it will pop it back to the top and someone will be along soon to be able to help.

    Naughty girl googling lol why do we give advice but not listen to our own. Have you spoke to your nurse about the lipofilling risks? i found they were a bit more honest than my consultant xxx

  • Hi optimistic. I've had 4 rounds of lipo transfer and will have implants next month. All good so far. Have to say fat from thighs really hurt for a while but stomach and hips not too bad. All day surgery.
