Part of the fat is always absorbed after fat grafting; that is normal. We speak of failed fat grafting when there is too little volume, an uneven result, or hard lumps (fat necrosis). Read why it sometimes does not work and what can still be done.

Breast symmetry surgery balances the healthy breast after a lumpectomy, mastectomy or reconstruction. Learn what it involves after lumpectomy, implant reconstruction or a DIEP flap, the options (reduction, lift, augmentation, lipofilling), timing, insurance and recovery.

After breast-conserving surgery and radiation therapy, many women notice changes in the shape of their treated breast. A small dent, an indentation, or a subtle asymmetry can develop over time as radiation effects cause tissue contraction and firmness. While these changes are usually mild, they can affect confidence and comfort. Fat grafting — also known as lipofilling — offers a remarkably effective and minimally invasive solution for correcting these small breast defects us

An AICAP flap fills the gap in the lower or inner breast after a lumpectomy with skin and fat from below the breast. Read who it suits, scars and recovery.

A LICAP flap fills the gap in the upper or outer breast after a lumpectomy with skin and fat from the side of the chest. Read who it suits, scars and recovery.

Oncoplastic breast surgery removes the breast cancer and reshapes the breast in one operation. Learn who is a candidate, the main techniques (reduction, batwing, round block, LICAP, AICAP, lipofilling), timing with radiotherapy, scars, symmetry and risks.
