Dr. Robert Whitfield explains fat transfer after explant surgery. It takes longer than implants because it requires harvesting and processing your own tissue, but it's an option for people who've healed from explant and want their breast volume back.
Fat transfer obviously is a little bit longer case, does require harvesting, processing, and placement. Putting in a device is obviously faster, but it has tracking and follow-up that's different than your own tissue. And third profile of the patient we want to highlight is the patient who's already had an explant, they've already healed, and now they want more volume back, especially if the implant was really composing the majority of the volume. And so when I— these types of situations are ones that can be more critical in terms of body image.
