Fig. 1. — Reaching and sustaining analgesia. Preoperative pictures (A and B) of a 37-year-old patient (patient 1 of Table 1) with a history of breast cancer on the right side, after nipple-sparing mastectomies and implant-based reconstruction on both sides. Implant position is subpectoral/dual plane on both sides. The postoperative pictures (C and D) were taken 12 months after the last of 5 sessions of fat grafting. The ultrasound examination of the soft-tissue envelope before the procedures revealed a thickness of at least 0.2 cm and after them of at least 1.2 cm. The patient reported a softening of the capsule after the lipoinjections on both sides. Animation deformity improved also considerably.
