This method has been developed and practiced by some plastic surgeons for over a decade. Nevertheless, it has only recently been approved as being safe and reliable under certain conditions by several national plastic surgery associations (ASPS, SOFCPRE, Swiss Plastic Surgery).\nIn addition to increasing breast size, autologous fat is injected to restore or shape the breast (lipomodeling). In both cases, autologous fat injection serves the purpose to avoid the use of foreign material (breast implants) and to prevent visible scars as far as possible. Autologous fat transfer to the breast is currently being further developed, refined and tested, and is thus not yet regarded as a standard procedure. However, there is encouraging evidence and has been intense scientific effort to establish a standardised technique for autologous fat injection in breast surgery.\nBreast enlargement and shaping by autologous fat tissue (lipoaugmentation\/lipomodeling) involves the removal of fat from areas of the body with excess fat deposits, preparation of adipose tissue by various methods (e.g. sedimentation, centrifugation) and injecting the treated fat into the breast tissue with fine needles. Repeated treatments may be useful in order to achieve an optimal result.\n<\/a>\n
