The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours. At the beginning fat gets obtained in a tissue-conserving way by <a href=\"https:\/\/ddrheinrich.com\/en\/treatments\/liposuction\/#microcannulas\">microcannular liposuction<\/a>. Afterwards the fat gets injected into the breast either in stem cell-enriched or untreated form.<\/p>\n<p>Even after a complete breast removal (mastectomy) it is possible to reconstruct a well-shaped natural breast with the help of autologous fat and stem cells. Depending on the situation multiple surgery appointments might be necessary. For pre- or post-stretching it is often recommendable to wear a mechanical suction bra. The suction bra stretches breasts and allows them to accommodate even more fat, so that the desired result can be achieved in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<p>The result of a <a href=\"https:\/\/ddrheinrich.com\/en\/treatments\/breast\/breast-reconstruction-autologous-fat-stem-cells\/\">breast reconstruction with autologous fat and stem cells<\/a> completely consists of the body\u2019s own tissue and is normally retained long-term.<\/p>\n<p>After a few implantations of autologous fat, the patient\u2019s breast is by now presentable again.<\/p>\n<p>DDr.&nbsp;Heinrich, MD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we once again performed breast reconstruction in a female patient who was very dissatisfied with the silicone implant she got after a surgical tumor removal from her left breast.
