“I am almost 21 years old. I had a nuss procedure done when I was 17 and I’ve had it removed. My haller index was 4.5 prior to surgery so my pectus excavatum was severe. I feel like I am disproportionate. I have an identical twin who grew up normally with no pectus and she is a full C where as I am a small. I would like to have a full C as well and I feel the fat transfer would meet all my needs. I was wondering if there are any possible complications that could occur because of my history.”, a RealSelf user asked.
“Thank you for your question. I find patients with pectus mild to moderate and asymmetry are especially good candidates for AFT (Autologous Fat Transfer) to the breasts. While you would need examination and possibly preoperative imaging, I do not see an issue for you to have fat grafting. Breast of luck.”, Aristocrat’s certified surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani, M.D., F.A.C.S explained.
