Summary

This research study is to evaluate the natural history of fat transplanted from a person's body to their breasts. We are seeking a natural, safe, and effective alternative to breast implants. Patients will undergo liposuction of their body followed by infiltration of this harvested fat around their breasts. The study protocol will involve preoperative and postoperative photographs, mammograms, and MRI to look for changes in the breast shape and size, as well as any internal changes in the breast tissue.

Conditions

  • Breast Augmentation
  • Fat Grafting

Interventions

PROCEDURE

breast implants

patients will have breast augmentation using implants

PROCEDURE

Liposuction, fat grafting

Autologous fat will be harvested from the body (typically the abdomen or thighs) using syringe aspiration techniques and then infiltrated into the subcutaneous tissue around the breast as well as between the breast and the underlying musculature using blunt cannulas. These procedures will be done in an outpatient surgery setting in the Georgetown University Hospital under general anesthesia and sterile conditions.
