A bay area surgeon is offering a different kind of reshaping that doesnt involve implants at all. Abc7 news anchor Cheryl Jennings has the story. As a nurse in los gatos, lisa may wear a uniform during the day, but at night she loves to dress up. A guilty pleasure she could once again enjoy. When i get dressed up you, i feel much better dressed up i feel better about. Clothes. Diagnosed with Breast Cancer, ly underwent a lump ekeectomy and afterward she turned to a Plastic Surgeon to restore the shape of her breast. After considering several options she decided on a procedure that would enhance both breasts without the use of traditional breast implants. I felt the implant would give me a very heavy look on top. I did not want the implants and also because i had Breast Cancer. This is called an auto augmentation breast lift. This is for women who are overall happy with their breast size when they wear a bra because it is all pushed up. Rather than enlarge the breast it uses the patients own tissue and taken from the bottom area of the breast to reshape it. We take a wedge of the bottom tissue of the breast and it gets tucked under the gland and is put up against the chest wall and creates nice fullness in the top part of the breast. Reporter the technique allows surgeons to preserve the blood supply. A recent advance in the meshlike component keeps it in place. We can put a belted matrix to sock that in and hold it there. In lisas case they used a a fat transfer taken from her own body to fill in the area of her breast where the tumor was removed. The result left her with a natural look and she again feels comfortable wearing the kind of clothes she loves. From a dress to a class to a blouse to a bathing suit it is way better. Cheryl jengs, abc7 news. Side effects are considered minimal. Insurance coverage can vary depending on whether the reconstruction is the result of Breast Cancer surgery or purely cosmetic.
