Abstract:
Recently, lipofilling is being performed either as a part of oncoplastic technique or alone by itself for correction of defects and asymmetry after oncologic breast cancer surgery. Its efficacy, safety and technical procedures are varying among institutions and individual surgeon's experiences. We provide a literature review and view point focus on this novel technique which emphasize on the application on breast cancer reconstruction.
