Background: A 1987 American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons position paper predicted that fat grafting would compromise breast cancer detection and should therefore be prohibited. However, there is no evidence that fat grafting to breasts is less safe than any other form of breast surgery. As discussions of fat grafting to the breast are surfacing all over the world, it is time to reexamine the opinions of the 1987 American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons position…

Fat Injection to Correct Contour Deformities in the Reconstructed Breast
- MedicinePlastic and reconstructive surgery

Although fat injection in and around the reconstructed breast has limitations, such as fat necrosis and need for repeated injections, the experience indicates that overall it is a very safe technique that can improve or correct significant contour deformities that otherwise would require more complicated, riskier procedures to improve.
