Description

<p>In breast reconstruction, achieving symmetry with implants alone can be challenging. Fat grafting is an effective adjunct to address issues such as implant contour irregularities, rippling, and depressions in the upper chest and axillary areas. Our previous studies suggest that combining fat grafting with implant-based reconstruction results in patient satisfaction levels between those achieved with implant-only and autologous tissue reconstruction, contributing to improved aesthetic outcomes. This technique is simple and suitable even for beginners in fat grafting. In the long term, considering the potential transition from implants to autologous reconstruction, the appropriate selection of fat donor sites should be carefully examined.</p>
