@jdh65, As you probably already know, fat grafting (or autologous fat transfer) is a new breast reconstruction technique. Because fat grafting is so new, no large clinical studies have been done on the procedure. The studies that have been done involve fewer than 100 women and the average follow-up time is less than 4 years.

I believe @boathouse @kwyskiel @jboisjolie @celica have had fat grafting reconstruction done or considered it.

JDH, what factors are you considering as you make your decision?

I’m noticing that the latest entries available are mostly from January of this year? That’s ALOT of months with no recent activity…? Is this normal? Am I in a currently active group? Please advise, and thank you. ☺️
