[Cell-assisted lipotransfer for breast augmentation: a report of 18 patients].

Abstract

In process of breast augmentation using CAL, the distilled SVF contains 41.67% ADSCs which have adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic function. Within 3-month post-operation, the breast volume decreases obviously but the volume sustains after that. Compared with the preoperative volume, the 6-month postoperative volume is significantly increased and the breasts' contour is improved greatly. This study indicates that CAL is a safe and effective way for breast augmentation.
