Breast Augmentation Using Preexpansion and Autologous Fat Transplantation: A Clinical Radiographic Study

Del Vecchio DA, Bucky LP (Back Bay Plastic Surgery, Boston, MA) Plast Reconstr Surg 127:2441-2450, 2011^§

Abstract

Background

Despite the increased popularity of fat grafting of the breasts, there remain unanswered questions. There is currently no standard for technique or data regarding long-term volume maintenance with this procedure. Because of the sensitive nature of breast tissue, there is a need for radiographic evaluation, focusing on volume maintenance and on tissue viability. This study was designed to quantify the long-term volume maintenance of mature adipocyte fat grafting for breast augmentation using recipient-site preexpansion.
