[PMID: 39085525 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-024-04275-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Research studies on Asian women's preferences for breast augmentation and the factors that influence decision-making are scarce or unrepresentative. METHODS This study was conducted from September 2016 to September 2017, a period of one year. We developed a questionnaire for Chinese female with breast augmentation intentions based on the Breast-Q questionnaire, the world's most popular breast augmentation assessment tool, and conducted questionnaire surveys in 35 hospitals located in 19 provinces in mainland China among female who came to hospitals to inquire about breast augmentation surgery. RESULTS A total of 2066 questionnaires were collected from female interested in breast augmentation. The age range at the time of response was 19-53 years (mean 31.2 ± 6.8 years). More than half of the respondents (58.1%) were married, and 70.4% of them had children. The respondents rated their dressed image significantly higher than their nude image. Their partners also rated their breast image poorly, with 43% rating it fair and 30.4% negatively. Internal reasons, such as improving self-confidence and creating a better body image, were the main motivators for breast augmentation. More than half of the respondents had only limited understanding of breast augmentation surgery or had heard of it but did not fully understand it (33.2% and 27.5%, respectively), and 69.4% had considered breast augmentation for less than three years. A total of 49.2% of the respondents learned about breast augmentation surgery through the Internet. A total of 43.8% of the respondents did not receive support from family members or partners. Surgical safety (20.4%), surgical effect (17.1%), and surgeon's skill (16.6%) were given the highest priority. The surgeon's professionalism, popularity, and academic background were also high on people's list of considerations. CONCLUSIONS The results of our breast augmentation survey provide data on many Chinese women considering breast augmentation. This will help plastic surgeons better understand the characteristics, preferences, and concerns of Chinese women undergoing breast augmentation and will be used to guide patient-doctor communication and help Chinese women make the most informed decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Numerous studies have proposed the utilization of stromal vascular fraction (SVF), adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), and platelet products as auxiliary grafting techniques to improve the survival rate of fat grafts. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various fat grafting methods since 2010 through a network meta-analysis, aiming to identify the most effective technique for fat grafting. METHODS Clinic trials on assisted fat grafting were searched from Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, spanning the period from January 1, 2010 to March 2024. The risk of bias in the included trials was meticulously assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The survival rate of fat grafts served as the primary evaluation metric for effectiveness, while complications were employed as the indicator for safety. RESULTS The study incorporated 31 clinic trials, involving a total of 1656 patients. The findings indicated that the survival rate with assisted fat grafting significantly surpassed that of simple fat grafting (SUCRA, 10.43%). Notably, ADSC-assisted fat grafting exhibited the highest survival rate (SUCRA, 82.17%), followed by Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM)-assisted fat grafting (SUCRA, 69.76%). In terms of safety, the most prevalent complications associated with fat grafting were fat sclerosis and fat necrosis. Adc-assisted fat grafting was correlated with the lowest incidence of complications (SUCRA, 41.00%), followed by simple fat grafting (SUCRA, 40.99%). However, PRP-assisted (SUCRA, 52.86%) and SVF-assisted fat grafting (SUCRA, 65.14%) showed higher complication rates. CONCLUSION Various methods of assisted fat grafting can significantly enhance the survival rate, but they often fail to effectively mitigate the incidence of complications. Compared to other methods, adipose mesenchymal stem cells-assisted fat grafting consistently yielded a higher survival rate of grafts and fewer complications. Consequently, this approach represents a relatively effective method for assisting in fat grafting at present.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various techniques for the surgical treatment of gender incongruence (GI) have been available for years. The spectrum is broad and covers various specialties. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of clinics offering body-modifying procedures. This has led to a considerable variation in methods in some cases. Although the topic has recently found its way more and more into teaching and the relevant specialist literature, there are still no evidence-based recommendations on the various techniques. AIM A compendium of established surgical techniques was to be compiled, containing recommendations on indication, performance and aftercare as well as complication management and subjecting them to a consensus-based evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS In accordance with "Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften" (AWMF) regulations, the guideline was developed at level S2k, i.e., it is consensus based. The guideline group was founded in February 2019 in a formal constituent meeting. A total of 14 medical societies and 2 interest groups were recruited for the guideline work. In the end, two consensus meetings were held, which was due to the large number of recommendations and background texts to be adopted. RESULTS The guideline focuses on the choice and applicability of surgical techniques as well as the wishes of those seeking treatment and protection of fertility. There is a wide variety of methods and treatment goals for each individual. Taking into account medical standards, recommendations, and contraindications, an optimal result that minimizes individual suffering can be achieved together with the person seeking treatment. CONCLUSION The content of the guideline represents a unique compendium of surgical methods, recommendations for the selection of procedures, and common indications in the field of body-modifying surgery for gender incongruence.

Abstract
We report the case of a 34-year-old female who was evaluated for a right lower extremity soft-tissue mass, found to be a large cystic lesion bound by fibrous tissue containing innumerable, freely mobile nodules of fat. Her presentation suggested the diagnosis of nodular cystic fat necrosis (NCFN), a rare entity that likely represents a morphological subset of fat necrosis potentially caused by vascular insufficiency secondary to local trauma. Her lesion was best visualized using MRI, which revealed characteristic imaging features of NCFN including nodular lipid-signal foci that suppress on fat-saturated sequences, intralesional fluid with high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging, and a contrast-enhancing outer capsule with low signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging. Ultrasound imaging offered the advantage of showing mobile hyperechogenic foci within the anechoic cystic structure, and the lesion was otherwise visualized on radiography as a nonspecific soft-tissue radiopacity. She was managed with complete surgical excision with pathologic evaluation demonstrating, similar to the radiologic features, innumerable free-floating, 1-5 mm, smooth, nearly uniform spherical nodules of mature fat with widespread necrosis contained within a thick fibrous pseudocapsule. Follow-up imaging revealed no evidence of remaining or recurrent disease on postoperative follow-up MRI. The differential diagnosis includes lipoma with fat necrosis, lipoma variant, atypical lipomatous tumor, and a Morel-Lavallée lesion. There is overlap in the imaging features between fat necrosis and both benign and malignant adipocytic tumors, occasionally making this distinction based solely on imaging findings challenging. To our knowledge, this is the largest example of NCFN ever reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and fat grafting are emerging alternatives to implants for breast augmentation. However, the lack of controlled clinical data has led to conflicting results regarding the effectiveness of surgical treatments. This study aimed to identify the key factors affecting the outcomes of fat grafting with SVF and to recognize novel methods to improve the retention rate. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 384 women underwent breast augmentation using fat grafting with SVF. The patients were preoperatively and postoperatively managed and recalled for follow-up at 3, 6, and 18 months. RESULTS The average volume of the injection in the left breast was 162.35 mL (range, 50-260 mL). The postoperative retention rates were 78.65% in 384 patients at 3 months, 77.17% in 273 patients at 6 months, and 77.48% in 102 patients at 18 months. The retention rates were compared based on the number of SVF cells; patients with more than 60 million cells had a retention rate of 70.77%, and those with less than 60 million cells had a retention rate of 85.60% at 18 months. The retention rates at the 18-month follow-up were 65.62% and 85.09% in stiff and soft breasts, respectively. A higher number of cells in the SVF was associated with a greater retention volume, and the retention volume was greater in patients with soft breasts.Given the higher use of the right arm, after 18 months of the surgery, the retention rate of the right breast (60.35%) was lower than that of the left breast (77.48%) ( P < 0.05; t = -13.199). CONCLUSIONS Limiting arm movement, increasing the number of cells in the SVF, and improving the skin tension might enhance the retention rate in patients undergoing breast augmentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction is often supplemented by autologous fat grafting to optimize aesthetic outcomes. This usually entails several rounds of modest fat transfer to minimize risk of necrosis; however, the limits of fat grafting at expander exchange are not known. METHODS A single-institution retrospective review from July 2016 to February 2022 was performed of all patients who underwent (1) mastectomy, (2) prepectoral tissue expander placement, (3) expander exchange for implant, and (4) at least one round of autologous fat transfer. Student t test and χ2 test were used. RESULTS A total of 82 breasts underwent a single round of fat grafting during implant placement (group 1); 75 breasts underwent fat grafting that occurred in multiple rounds and/or in delay to implant placement (group 2). Group 1 received more fat at the time of implant placement (100 mL; interquartile range, 55-140 mL; P < 0.001) and underwent fewer planned operative procedures compared with group 2 (1.0 vs 2.2, P < 0.001). Total fat volume in group 2 did not significantly exceed that of group 1 until after 3 rounds of fat transfer (128.5 mL; interquartile range, 90-130 mL; P < 0.01). There was no difference in the rate of fat necrosis between groups after the first round (15.9% vs 9.3%, P = 0.2) and final round (15.9% vs 12.0%, P = 0.5) of fat grafting. Complication rates were similar between groups (3.7% vs 8.0%, P = 0.2). CONCLUSIONS A 2-stage approach of prepectoral tissue expander placement with single round of larger volume fat transfer at expander exchange reduces overall number of operative procedures without increased risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although autologous fat grafting is a useful adjunct for breast reconstruction, its indications remain limited as large-volume fat grafting results in high absorption and complication rates. Low-density fat includes small numbers of viable cells and considerable oil, resulting in nodules and oil cysts. This study evaluated the volumization effect and complications with combined fat grafting of condense low-density fat and high-density fat. METHODS This retrospective, single-center study included 25 patients who underwent combined grafting of condensed low-density fat and high-density fat (CLDF + HDF) and 20 patients who underwent conventional Coleman fat grafting for breast reconstruction from December 2017 to January 2022. Retention rates and complications were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound rates. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a typical Likert scale. Photographs were taken and imageological examinations were performed before and after treatment. OUTCOMES Graft retention rate was higher in patients who underwent CLDF + HDF than Coleman fat grafting for breast reconstruction (38.40 ± 4.41% vs. 31.43 ± 5.43%, p <0.05). One patient in the CLDF + HDF grafting group, compared with twelve in the Coleman fat grafting group, developed oil cysts exceeding 1 cm. Patient satisfaction rate was higher in the CLDF + HDF grafting group. CONCLUSIONS Mechanical processes can concentrate the cellular content of LDF and remove oil, condensing LDF to the level of HDF. Combined grafting of CLDF optimized by mechanical processing and HDF is effective for breast reconstruction, with a higher retention rate and a lower incidence of complications than conventional Coleman fat grafting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat grafting is used in combination with mammoplasty to improve filling of the upper pole of the breasts. Its effectiveness remains in question due to unpredictable results. Difficulty in isolating the grafted fat and differentiating it from host tissues may hinder assessment of graft integration. The plane between the pectoral muscles is free of fat and has already been described with respect to placement of breast implants and fat grafting in breast surgeries. This study sought to evaluate via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the integration and retention of retropectoral fat grafts in mammoplasty. METHODS Thirty patients with breast flaccidity who desired to undergo mammoplasty were selected. Fat collected from the abdomen was separated by sedimentation and transferred to the retropectoral region after undermining of the breast and resection of excess tissue. The patients underwent MRI preoperatively and at three and six months after surgery. Fat volumes were calculated by multiplying the values for the major vertical, horizontal, and anteroposterior axes by the constant 0.523. RESULTS Twenty-five patients completed the study. The mean volume grafted was 116.4 ± 22.5 ml per breast. Six months after surgery, the mean fat graft volume in the retropectoral plane was 48.1 ± 25.71 ml, and the integration rate was 40.82% (range, 32.2-49.4%). The rate of complications related to fat grafting was 8%. CONCLUSIONS In mammoplasty, retropectoral fat grafting showed good integration rates and is a safe and predictable approach that can contribute to improving the outcomes of aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) play an important role in regenerative medicine. OBJECTIVE Exploring the mechanism of Rg1 in the promotion of the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs is important in regenerative medicine research. METHODS To observe ginsenoside Rg1 in promoting the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs, Rg1 medium at different concentrations was established and tested using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, oil red O staining, alizarin red, and alcian blue. Compared to the control, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened via DEG analysis, which was carried out in the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. To explore the relationship among mRNA, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA), we constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. RESULTS In this study, Rg1 was observed to promote the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. Additionally, enriched BPs and KEGG pathways may be involved in the promotion process, where FXR1 and Lnc-GAS5-AS1 were found to be regulatory factors. The regulatory network suggested that Rg1 could regulate the adipocytokine signaling pathway and IL-17 signaling pathway via FXR1 and Lnc-GAS5-AS1, which served as the mechanism encompassing the promotion of Rg1 on the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. CONCLUSION A comprehensive transcriptional regulatory network related to the promotion ability of Rg1 was constructed, revealing mechanisms regarding Rg1's promotion of the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. The present study provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the function of hASCs.

Abstract
Importance: Coleman fat, nanofat, and stromal vascular fraction-gel (SVF-gel) are three widely used fat derivatives. However, their rheological properties and structure remain unknown. Objectives: To disclose the rheological properties and structure of three different fat derivatives. Design, Settings, and Participants: Fat tissues obtained from eight different donors were processed into three separate groups: Coleman fat, nanofat, and SVF-gel (n = 8); their viscoelastic properties and structure were determined. Intervention: Oscillation measurements were performed in the context of serrated 25-mm parallel-plate geometry with a 1.2-mm gap at 25°C. In addition, fat samples were fixed using a patented protocol and observed under scanning electron microscopy. Main Outcomes and Measures: Comparison of the viscoelastic properties, microstructure, and particle size. Results: At 0.77 Hz, the elastic modulus of SVF-gel, Coleman fat, and nanofat was 201.6 ± 0.74, 69.94 ± 15.61, and 34.89 ± 3.484 Pa, respectively; their viscosity was 44.06 ± 3.038, 15.37 ± 2.0380, and 7.516 ± 0.7250 mPa, respectively. The particle size of SVF-gel, Coleman fat, and nanofat was 106.0 ± 4.796, 86.93 ± 3.597, and 12.61 ± 7.603 μm, respectively. Conclusion and Relevance: Mechanical processing may impact graft efficacy. The characterization of the rheological properties and structure of different fat derivatives in this study may help surgeons select the better type of tissue for a given intervention; however, further studies are still required.

The Impact of N-Acetylcysteine on Autologous Fat Graft: First-in-Human Pilot Study. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2021; 45:2397-2405. [PMID: 32221675 PMCID: PMC8481185 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-020-01633-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2019] [Accepted: 01/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our goal was to determine whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administered to the tumescent solution can reduce oxidative stress and increase autologous fat graft (AFG) viability. METHODS The study included 15 women with a mean age of 31.8 years (range 23-39 years) who underwent breast asymmetry correction with AFG harvested from both thighs. One thigh was infiltrated with a standard tumescent fluid (control graft) and other with a NAC-enriched tumescent fluid (NAC-treated graft). Each participant had breast MRI imaging before and 6 months after the procedure. Also, adipose tissue samples from each graft were subjected to biochemical analysis, flow cytometric assay and qRT-PCR to determine the markers of oxidative stress, angiogenesis and adipogenesis. RESULTS Concentration and activity of superoxide dismutase in the NAC-treated grafts turned out to be significantly higher than in the control grafts, in both fresh (p = 0.041 and p = 0.023, respectively) and frozen samples (p = 0.004 and p = 0.003, respectively). The level of nitric oxide in frozen samples from the control grafts was significantly higher than in the NAC-treated grafts (p = 0.009). iNOS was the only qRT-PCR target showing significant intergroup differences, with higher transcription levels observed in the control grafts (p = 0.027). Breast volumetric analysis demonstrated that the NAC-treated group had a 12.19% lower resorption rate than the control group, although it was found to be statistically insignificant (p = 0.149). No postoperative complications were observed during a 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Some results of this study are promising. Further studies on larger groups are needed to determine NAC impact on AFG. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Porcine Acellular Dermal Matrix Increases Fat Survival Rate after Fat Grafting in Nude Mice. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2021; 45:2426-2436. [PMID: 33959783 PMCID: PMC8481189 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-021-02299-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 04/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Background Autologous fat grafts have been widely in use for reconstruction, contour abnormalities, and cosmetic surgeries. However, the grafted fat one-year survival rate is unpredictable and always low (20%–80%). Standardizing the existing transplantation technology is difficult due to the limiting conditions. Scaffold materials or drugs are unsuitable to employ because of legal restrictions, complex production, and undetermined hazards. Therefore, a simpler and more effective approach to improve grafted fat survival rate is using commercial products as additives. Earlier studies proved that porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM), a biomaterial clinically used for wound repair, could work as a scaffold for lipo-implantation. This study aimed at investigating the hitherto unclear effect of PADM on transplanted fat survival. Methods Thirty-two 8-week-old female nude mice were divided into two groups. Control mice received a 300 μl fat injection, while the PADM group mice were injected with a 300 μl PADM-fat mixture. After a 4-week treatment, fat weight and liquefaction ratio were assessed. Histological changes were quantified via hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining. Macrophage infiltration and vascular regeneration were revealed using an anti-CD34 antibody. Mouse and human mRNA expression levels were gauged via RNA-sequencing. On the third day post implantation, the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory genes Mcp-1 and Tnf-α were measured by qRT-PCR. Results The weight of surviving grafted fat did not differ between the control and the PADM group. However, adding PADM significantly decreased fat liquefaction. H&E-stained sections showed that PADM decreased fat necrosis, increased fat tissue regeneration, and raised CD34 levels in the regenerated tissue. RNA-sequencing showed that, compared to controls, fats from PADM-added group expressed more mouse-related mRNA but less human-related mRNA. The following GO and KEGG analysis showed that added PADM increased extracellular matrix (ECM) genes expression levels. The qRT-PCR showed that adding PADM increased Mcp-1 and Tnf-α mRNA expression levels. Conclusions In summary, PADM addition increased fat survival rate by reducing fat liquefaction through an increased macrophage infiltration, ECM regeneration, and revascularization. Therefore, PADM addition is a workable application in autologous fat grafting. No Level Assigned This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Browning adipocytes induced by burn and cancer were assumed less viable and more prone to necrosis for their hypermetabolic properties. Recent studies have shown browning of white adipose after fat engraftment in mice. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to evaluate whether fat transfer could induce browning biogenesis in fat grafts in humans and if it is associated with graft necrosis. METHODS Necrotic adipose grafts were excised from 11 patients diagnosed with fat necrosis after fat grafting or flap transfer. Non-necrotic fat grafts were from 5 patients who underwent revisionary surgeries after flap transfer. Histology and electronic microscopy as well as protein and gene expression of browning-related marker analyses were performed. RESULTS Fat grafts with necrosis demonstrated a higher gene expression level of uncoupling protein-1 (greater than fivefold increase, **P < 0.01), a master beige adipocyte marker, than non-necrotic fat grafts. Electronic microscopy and histology showed that browning adipocytes were presented in necrotic adipose in patients. CONCLUSIONS Fat transfer induced browning adipocytes in patients and was evident in patients with postgrafting necrosis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5

Abstract
Radiation therapy is frequently a critical component of breast cancer care but carries with it side effects that are particularly damaging to reconstructive efforts. Autologous lipotransfer has the ability to improve radiated skin throughout the body due to the pluripotent stem cells and multiple growth factors transferred therein. The oncologic safety of lipotransfer to the breasts is demonstrated in the literature and is frequently considered an adjunctive procedure for improving the aesthetic outcomes of breast reconstruction. Using lipotransfer as an integral rather than adjunctive step in the reconstructive process for breast cancer patients requiring radiation results in improved complication rates equivalent to those of nonradiated breasts, expanding options in these otherwise complicated cases. Herein, we provide a detailed review of the cellular toxicity conferred by radiotherapy and describe at length our approach to autologous lipotransfer in radiated breasts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the combination of autologous fat transplantation and silicone gel prosthesis implantation for breast augmentation surgery. METHODS With "autologous fat", "silicone prosthesis", "combined with", "combination", "breast augmentation" and "clinical effect" as search keywords, a thorough literature search was performed throughout the Chinese databases (CBMdisc, Wanfang, CNKI and Chongqing VIP) and English databases (PUBMED and EMBASE) and after cross-referencing and reading, literature conforming with the inclusion and exclusion criteria were analyzed and significant data related to autologous fat transplantation combined with silicone prosthesis in breast augmentation surgery was collected and meta-analyzed. RESULTS 21 full-text articles were included into the meta-analysis study: Autologous fat transplantation combined with silicone gel prosthesis implantation not only enhancedthe long-term postoperative breast shape recovery, but also fundamentally managed the underlying drawbacks of using autologous fat graft transplantation or prosthesis alone, decreasing the rate of procedure related morbidity and complications. CONCLUSION The application of the combination of autologous fat transplantation with silicone gel prosthesis implantation in breast augmentation surgery has shown good and stable clinical outcome while simultaneously reducing the rate of complication related to the application of either method alone. Hence, this combination is worth exploration and promotion since it offers better manageable clinical outcome at low risk of complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the extensive application of autologous fat grafting (AFG) to the breasts, postoperative complications such as breast lumps attract high attention. Breast lumps greatly reduce patient satisfaction and bring mental stress. However, there are few detailed reports about minimally invasive treatment strategies for breast lumps after AFG. Our study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) system for patients with lumps after AFG. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 37 patients with breast lumps between April 2015 and January 2019. The characteristics of patients and breast lumps were analyzed. Breast lumps were classified into four types, including cystic, solid, complex and calcification. The vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (Mammotome and Encor) was performed for the patients with lumps after AFG. The efficacy, safety, complications and patient satisfactions were recorded during postoperative follow-up periods. RESULTS Under the guidance of ultrasound, the breast lumps could be thoroughly and accurately excised by the vacuum-assisted biopsy system. No patient experienced breast infections or major complications requiring treatment. Hematoma was observed in only 2 patients and gradually resolved without any special management. With a median follow-up of 29 months, no recurrence was observed. Furthermore, there were no statistical differences in duration of the procedures and complications between the two VABB systems. All the patients recovered well and were satisfied with the cosmetic outcome. CONCLUSION The vacuum-assisted breast biopsy system can be used as an effective and minimally invasive approach for the surgical management of lumps after AFG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mastopexy autoaugmentation by using an extended vertical flap and two transverse triangular flaps of mammary parenchyma was performed through an adjustable vertical ice cream cone-shaped approach. METHOD A vertical rectangular flap with the length of the inferior pole and thickness of the mammary parenchyma was supported at the inframammary fold. Dissection of the vertical flap was extended underneath the areola until the projection of its upper limit, adding 4-5 cm to the length of the vertical flap. A triangular flap supported on its lower half with 4-6 cm long and thickness of the vertical pillar was dissected on both vertical pillars. Patients were followed up for 2 years. RESULTS The vertical rectangular flap filled the upper pole and central breast. The triangular flaps apart from filling the lower pole increased the mammary cone projection. The medial rotation advancement of the triangular flaps created a transverse support girdle at the lower pole, maintaining the vertical flap into position. In addition, fixation of the vertical flap along its entire length avoided long-term down-displacement of the breast. A keel resection of mammary parenchyma was performed in the larger breast in mild or moderate asymmetries. CONCLUSION Mastopexy autoaugmentation through an adjustable vertical approach using vertical and triangular flaps of mammary parenchyma filled the upper pole and central breast and reshape the lower pole, recovering the breast contour. It provided long-term stabilization of the mammary cone without a breast implant or fat transfer. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the advantages of autologous fat transfer to the breast, there are many complications after the surgery, such as oil cysts, calcification and palpable breast nodules. The fat purification process is a key step to reduce those complications, but there is currently no standard processing method. This study was designed to compare the incidence of fat necrosis after autologous fat grafting to the breast with low-speed centrifugation and sedimentation. METHODS This study analyzed 100 patients (167 breasts) who underwent autologous fat grafts to the breasts from January, 2015 to March, 2017. Patients were divided into two groups randomly, low-speed centrifugation (800 r/min) and sedimentation (15 min). Postoperative fat necrosis such as oil cysts and palpable breast nodules was measured using physical examination and breast ultrasound 3 months after the surgery. The number and the diameter of the fat necroses were detected. RESULTS A total of 100 patients (167 breasts) were included this research. There were 21 breasts with clinically palpable nodules (12.57%); fifteen (19.48%) were in the low-speed centrifugation group and six (6.67%) were in the sedimentation group (p < 0.05). According to postoperative breast ultrasounds, there were 83 breasts with hypoechoic cyst formations (49.7%); forty-five (58.44%) in the low-speed centrifugation group and 38 (42.22%) in the sedimentation group (p < 0.05). A positive correlation between the number of operative sessions and fat necrosis was found out. CONCLUSION Although low-speed centrifugation could achieve higher fat purification efficacy when compared with sedimentation, it causes more fat necrosis than sedimentation, such as clinically palpable nodules and subclinical nodules, especially in patients who had a history of breast surgery and those who needed more than one fat grafting session.
