Superior Sensibility after Full Breast Reconstruction with Autologous Fat Transfer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With developments in screening and treatment, survival rates of breast cancer patients are increasing, and so is the number of women opting for breast reconstruction to improve their quality of life. One factor that could play an important role in improving the quality of life is breast sensibility. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore breast sensibility in participants of the Breast Reconstruction with External Preexpansion and Autologous Fat Transfer versus Standard Therapy trial: an ongoing randomized controlled trial comparing breast reconstruction with autologous fat transfer (AFT) versus implant-based reconstruction (IBR).

Methods

This study was conducted on participants of the Breast Reconstruction with External Preexpansion and Autologous Fat Tr
