Example of breast augmentation by fat grafting. Stem cell fat grafting is the autotransplantation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) extracted from fat-abundant donor sites (e.g. thigh or stomach) to other areas such as the face, breast, and hip to reconstruct the operative areas into desirable shapes.

A doctor harvests fat from one or more areas of the patient's body where excess fat is available and grafts it to the breast for breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. As the procedure uses the patient's own fat, the structural fat grafting for breast reconstruction surgery is a more natural process than implants and ...

It is a more complicated operation than other autologous or alloplastic options, but provides significantly better cosmetic results, which means better ...

Breast reconstruction is the surgical process of rebuilding the shape and look of a breast, most commonly in women who have had surgery to treat breast cancer. It involves using autologous tissue, prosthetic implants, or a combination of both with the goal of reconstructing a natural-looking breast.
In a two-year period, 25 patients underwent breast augmentation by fat graft injection; at three weeks pre-procedure, before the fat grafting to the breast-tissue matrix (recipient site), the patients were photographed, and examined via intravenous contrast MRI or 3-D volumetric imaging, or both.
Free-flap breast reconstruction is a type of autologous-tissue breast reconstruction applied after mastectomy for breast cancer, without the emplacement of a breast implant prosthesis. As a type of plastic surgery, the free-flap procedure for breast reconstruction employs tissues, harvested from another part of the woman's body, to create a ...
Breast reconstruction using the latissimus dorsi muscle and an implant. This is an example of a pedicled musculocutaneous flap. Musculocutaneous and muscle flaps contain a layer of muscle to provide bulk that can fill a deeper defect. If skin cover is needed, a skin graft can be placed over top of it.
