Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical value of breast augmentation with autologous fat graft using water jet-assisted liposuction (WAL) technique. Methods From October 2010 to December 2012, 20 patients underwent Water Jet-Assisted Lipoplasty and breast augmentation with autologous fat tissue (average, 210 ml volume injected per breast). Pretreatment and posttreatment TN, bilateral SN and MP were measured, and the outcomes were statistically analysed using paired t test, combined with photos of pretreatment and posttreatment. Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 2 years. Results The results were satisfactory. All the patients got good shape of breasts. There was no infection in all the patients. TN and SN were signifigantly increased at 3 month after operation [(88.7±2.9) cm vs. (87.2±4.2) cm, P<0.01], [left (20.1±1.5) cm, right (20.1±1.5) cm, vs left (19.5±1.5) cm, right (19.5±1.6) cm, P<0.01]. MP was also increased compared with measurement of pre-operation [(4.6±0.4) cm vs. (4.2±0.9) cm, P<0.05]. Conclusions It is a good option to use water jet-assisted liposuction technique in the treatment of breast augmentation with autologous fat graft.
