Dr. Robert Whitfield explains how to fix a tethered nipple after explant surgery using scar release and fat transfer, a safe technique even for thin patients. His program reshapes the breast by redraping existing skin rather than removing natural tissue.
What do you do in case of tethered tissue on the side after explant? In other words, the nipple is stuck to the chest wall and doesn't heal. Hard to pull away after six months. So that's something that we would do a scar release and fat transfer for. You don't need a lot of fat. So even if you're a very thin person, you can have that done. I'm sorry you're experiencing that, but that can happen certainly in thinner patients. Yes. Brandy, we do preserve the natural breast tissue. We don't take breast tissue out. That's not part of the program. We reshape a breast mostly with just re draping of the. The skin tissue after excision of excess skin from stretching or just having excess skin. I'm trying to make sure I get all your questions answered. All right. Anybody else got a question for me? I heard fat transfer is risky. Edie, fat transfer is not risky. No, that's not a thing. So fat transfers work very well.
