Abstract
Breast reconstruction with fat grafting is very useful for correcting and modifying size and symmetry [1], but reconstructing a breast with fat alone is difficult because the shape obtained is flat rather than rounded. In this chapter, we describe our technique for breast reconstruction using fat grafting alone in patients with flaccid, elastic skin, via multiple injections of fat tissue [2].
