so 7 years after the big surgery and chemo I find it bothering me that I still can't fill out a bra on my upper part of the flap. My chest is boney and I did have a necrosis that was removed right after surgery 7 yr ago on the left outer side. The PS said he can do fat injections to fill out that top area. He will do a few of them over a couple of months layering the fat. Has anyone had this done? Does it last? I have to admit it would be nice to "hold up" an evening gown for my daughters wedding. Would i be better off with implants?
