Some women can’t help it: they have to have one or both breasts removed. Either because cancer was detected in it or due to an increased risk of it. In addition to existing methods, Maastricht UMC+ has discovered a new method of breast reconstruction and rated it safe.
This is lipofilling, or the use of one’s own adipose tissue. The fat is sucked out, for example, from the hip, thighs or abdomen and injected into the chest.
Breast reconstruction with your own fatty tissue will be reimbursed by health insurance companies from 1 January under certain conditions.
