Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate a creative breast augmentation of autologus fat in combination with implant in reconstruction of normal breast and prevention of implant related contracture.
MethodsThe autologous fat was harvested and purified for use. A 3.0 to 4.0 cm long incision was made in the axillary crease. The implant placement cavity was created underlying the pectoralis major after subcutaneous blunt dissection through the incision. The properly selected silicone breast implant of certain type and volume was inserted into the previously created cavity through the subcutaneous tunnel. The autologous fat was transplanted overlying the pectoralis major in multiple planes and the fat was located over the implant in an umbrella form.
ResultsA total of 12 cases obtained obvious breast increase, reconstruction of breast, fullness of breast and softness of breast without obvious contracture after the autologous fat in combination with implant in reconstruction of normal breast. The result was satisfactory during a follow-up between 6 months and 3 years.
ConclusionsThe transplanted fat overlying the silicone implant can augment the breast, increase breast, promote regeneration of breast, reduce or resist immune response of silicone breast implant, and then prevent breast implant related contracture. The newly built breast is soft and natural. The procedure is safe and effective.
