Breast Cancer Reconstruction After Lumpectomy
October 6th, 2014
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Join us tomorrow on Twin Cities Live to see an amazing story of one women and her breast cancer survival journey. Learn about the exciting advances for the treatment and reconstruction strategies following diagnosis of breast cancer. Fat grafting is the newest treatment to repair breast asymmetry following a lumpectomy surgery and TCL filmed our procedure last month. Autologous or patient’s own liposuctioned fat is used to sculpt a more natural looking breast. Fat is rich in stromal cells, which have regenerative properties that are especially effective in healing tissues damaged by radiation therapy often prescribed for lumpectomies. Lipo-fat grafting is a successful and natural technique for women wanting to avoid extensive surgery to correct the uneven breast shape or divot created by lost tissue from a lumpectomy. Fat grafting is also now available for natural reconstruction following mastectomy.

In case you missed the live episode for our #MommyMakeover series, here is another segment for Twin Cities Live on KSTP-TV. Lisa graciously shared her own personal experience about considering and deciding to have breast enlargement restoration surgery after pregnancy. Her story is typical of patients we see that are unhappy with physical changes that may occur following pregnancy and nursing. We thank Lisa for allowing the Twin Cities Live cameras to document her journey. Please click here to watch our patient’s story of surgery, recovery, as we reveal her final result on TCL.
