Abstract :
Introduction: Fat injection of the breast is considered a relatively new technique with few studies. Aim of the Work: To assess the role and efficacy of fat injection in the breast. Patients and Methods: In this study a total of 15 patients were operated upon using the conventional Sydney Coleman technique of fat harvesting but without centrifugation. The fat samples were left to sit for 15 minutes instead. Results: Difference between breast circumference and chest circumference were recorded at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. There was an initial drop in the breast measurements between 1 month and 3 months which then stabilized up to one year. Conclusion: Fat injection to the breast is a reasonable alternative to patients requiring breast augmentation without implants. It is a safe procedure with minimal morbidities.
