I just read about creating an entire breast with ones own fat. It is a very new procedure and someone I know was told by her doctor she may be a candidate of this procedure. so my question today is there anybody out there that has had this type of breast reconstruction?

    I am beginning the procedure in the fall. Fatgraftpatients.com is a similar resource to breast cancer.org and provides a forum for doctors and patients. My PS is using Brava and liposuction to undertake reconstruction of my right breast (mastectomy).

    I, too, am looking for information on process. Particularly, I want to know if I can wear my prothesis during the day with Brava at night. Does anyone have experiences to share?

    I am on my third procedure to create a new breast from fat.  I am encouraged so far by the process.  Id be glad to answer any questions that you have.

    Yes I wear my prosthesis during the day and the brava at night.  I use my post surgical prosthetic after the fat procedure for a few weeks, so as to keep pressure off the new "fat".  I too am making a new right breast.
