Breast (Cosmetic / Reconstructive)
Fat grafting has become an increasingly popular adjunct to aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. This projects aims to apply 3D imaging technology to assess the efficacy of fat grafting to the breast as well as stability of post-operative results. Numerous factors that have yet to be established will be determined with particular focus on migration of the autologous fat transfer.
