Abstract
Autologous fat transfer is fast becoming a common adjunct procedure in plastic surgical operations, especially in breast reconstruction. Postharvest fat processing can be performed actively or passively with various techniques. All techniques require the final step of loading the harvested fat into a syringe for injection. We describe here an innovative and elegant technique for safer and more efficient loading of the plunger back into the barrel of a fat-filled syringe before injection. This technique improves ease of loading, reduces loss of harvested fat, and eliminates the risk of bodily fluid splash.
