Breast Reconstruction after a Bilateral Mastectomy Using the BRAVA Expansion System and Fat Grafting.

Fat graft breast reconstruction following a mastectomy is always limited by the size of the skin envelope, which affects the amount of graft that can be injected in 1 session. Because the fat graft naturally resorbs in all patients, several sessions of fat grafting are necessary. BRAVA's negative pressure causes a "reverse" expansion of the skin envelope, thus permitting more space for the fat graft.
