Objectives: Total immediate breast reconstruction by fat transfer
Introduction: Immediate breast reconstruction, when it’s possible, is very often asked by women.
They are now many problems with implants (PIP troubles with bad silicon gel, lymphoma with textured implants, pain with radiotherapy and implant ……). There is also a lot of patients afraid by flap reconstruction (very long surgery, flap necrosis, pain on donor site ….). Fat injection becomes more and more often a good solution for this woman.
Materials / method: Many patients prefered 3 or 4 fat transfer, in one-day surgery, without an implant, without scar and pain on the donor site. We for 6 years, we performed 1000 fat transfer for breast reconstruction. More than 100 women had total breast reconstruction by fat, 20 % was immediate breast reconstruction.
Results: We have good results for all that cases, with, on average, 3 surgery (every 4 months, 800 ccs of fat injected in total, 10 % had radiotherapy after mastectomy and first injection ). That kind of surgery has a low rate of complication, very good results and it’s an easy technic to teach.
Conclusion: We think that we will get more and more indication for that technic and we must propose it when it’s possible for all women.
