Autologous Fat Grafting as a Stand-Alone Procedure for Post-Mastectomy Breast Reconstruction and the Potential for Improvement using Adipose-Derived Stem Cells
Elena Kakouri
Abstract:Autologous fat grafting is an appealing method for breast reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer. Surgeons often perform this technique to optimize the aesthetic results of the more popular implant-based or autologous breast reconstruction by correcting residual defects and contour lines. Autologous fat grafting is less invasive, less costly, and easier than the reconstructive procedures mentioned. These advantages pose the possibility of using this method as a stand-alone procedure for post-mas… Show more
