Large-Volume Autologous Fat Grafting to the Breast
Maurice Y. Nahabedian
Abstract
Autologous fat grafting in the setting of breast augmentation and reconstruction has become globally accepted and routinely performed. There is general consensus that small-volume grafting is reproducible and predictable; however, large-volume fat grafting (>100 mL) is less predictable and is not as commonly performed. The aim of this article was to review outcomes following large-volume and megavolume fat grafting in the setting of breast augmentation and reconstruction. Level of Evidence: 4.
