Breast Augmentation by Fat Transplantation With Adipose-Derived Stem/Stromal Cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical methods using implants were broadly selected for breast augmentation surgery until recently; however, owing to several associated problems, fat transplantation using adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs) has been suggested as an alternative.

Objectives

This study evaluated the clinical benefits of fat transplantation using ADSCs for breast augmentation.

Methods

The clinical effects were investigated in 105 patients who underwent breast augmentation with ADSCs and fat transplantation. Liposuction was performed in the abdominal and/or thigh regions; ADSCs were isolated from the fat, mixed with refined fat, and transplanted into each breast; and changes in the breast volume were measured.

Results

The average increase in breast volume was a
