Lipomodelling: an important advance in breast surgery
Acta Chirurgiae Plasticae
|January 29, 2014
Summary
Lipomodelling is a safe and effective technique in breast surgery, offering excellent aesthetic results with low complication rates. Long-term oncological follow-up shows no increased cancer risk, making it a valuable reconstructive and aesthetic tool.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
- Aesthetic Surgery
Background:
- Lipomodelling is a well-established technique in breast surgery.
- It has a very low complication rate, with focal fat necrosis around 3%.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the long-term outcomes and oncological safety of lipomodelling in breast surgery.
- To highlight the versatility of lipomodelling in various reconstructive and aesthetic applications.
Main Methods:
- Long-term clinical experience and follow-up of patients undergoing lipomodelling.
- Analysis of oncological outcomes, including local recurrence and new cancer development.
- Assessment of fat graft absorption, volume stability, and patient acceptance.
Main Results:
- Lipomodelling demonstrates a low complication rate and no increased oncological risk.
- 30-40% of injected fat is absorbed, with stable volume achieved in 3-4 months.
- The technique significantly modifies indications for breast reconstruction and augmentation.
Conclusions:
- Lipomodelling is a major advance in breast surgery, offering excellent results and patient acceptance.
- It is highly effective in breast reconstruction (e.g., with latissimus dorsi flaps), implant revision, and deformity correction (e.g., Poland syndrome, pectus excavatum).
- Lipomodelling provides a valuable alternative for tuberous breasts, asymmetry, and natural cosmetic augmentation.
