Fat-Grafting Lumpectomy Reconstruction – Frequently Asked Questions
“Is this technique experimental?”
The use of injected fat for augmentation purposes in other parts of the body is well established. Scientific studies to determine the long-term effectiveness of fat-grafting in the breast are still under way. In Dr. Meade’s practice, however, the approach has shown great promise and delivered excellent results.
“Is there any risk of an immune-system reaction to the injected material?”
All of the cells injected into the breast lumpectomy defect are autologous – that is, they have been harvested from the patient’s own living tissues. This minimizes the possibility of the material being recognized as “foreign” by the immune system.
