Clinical Trial Summary

The Role of Lipofilling After Oncoplastic Breast surgeries : Evaluation of Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction

Clinical Trial Description

Lipofilling is the process of relocating autologous fat to change the shape, volume, consistency and profile of tissues. For over a century, surgeons have used autologous fat to enlarge and reshape the breasts.

Autologous fat grafting has gained popularity in recent years, although concerns exist regarding the safety and efficacy of this practice in breast surgery . Autologous fat grafting represents an important tool for the management of secondary contour deformities of reconstructed breasts; fat grafting is a simple, safe, and effective treatment option, with low morbidity. it is a straightforward and quick reconstructive technique that does not generally interfere with adjuvant therapies .patient surveys have demonstrated that irradiation has a significant and negative effect on patient satisfaction . Fat grafting seems to reduce radiation induced complications .improve cosmetic results, and reduce postoperative discomfort and pain. The aim of this study is to measure patient satisfaction with their breasts, as well as quality of life.

With the advent of liposuction in the 1980s, large amounts of unwanted fat could be removed from different body areas using small access incisions and a suction cannula. In this setting, fat grafting was re-introduced in the early 80s, pioneered by the American Mel Bircoll, who first described a series of fat transplantation for breast augmentation and reconstruction ;
