Abstract

Cautionary position statements in the 1980s slowed progress in the area of fat grafting to the breast, but interest was rekindled in the last decade by many successful reports. The ASPS formed a research task force to assess the practice of fat grafting, which resulted in declaration of safety in 2009. This chapter discusses the current state of knowledge regarding breast cancer screening and safety after fat grafting and fat grafting with stem cells.
