Breast augmentation and augmentation of the tuberous breast with adipose tissue transfer

Abstract

The author presents a history of fat transfer and stem cells. Possible complications are described and the technique discussed with how to harvest and injection method. Stem cells can differentiate into adipocytes and are a cell reserve for the turnover of fat tissue. Differentiation into endothelial cells, combined with the release of angiogenic growth factors, leads to increased vascularization of the transplanted tissue and reduced resorption and rapid wound healing in the receiver site. Possible complications are described.
