High-Volume Fat Grafting with and without Goldilocks Mastectomies Show Successful Clinical Outcomes for Breast Reconstruction.

Total breast reconstruction using autologous fat in a staged approach

Especially useful in high-risk patients requesting autologous options

Creates good cosmetic outcome with minimally invasive surgery

Autologous augmentation of breast mound created using mastectomy flaps

Average Total Volume Grafted:  TAFG = 664 mL      Goldilocks = 495 mL  (p-value = 0.111)

Average FG Sessions:  TAFG = 4 sessions      Goldilocks = 2.64 sessions  (p-value = 0.03)

Significant drop in fat grafted in the sixth session. From an average of 177 mL in the first five sessions to 63 mL in the final three sessions (p-value = 0.000).

High volume FG is a successful and safe form of breast reconstruction.

Successful volume can be achieved within 5 sessions of TAFG, or 3 session with Goldilocks.

  Additional sessions improve cosmesis without effecting size.
