Fat grafting in our view is a preoperatively planned part of the reconstruction. The final volume we achieve will be made up of fat and implants in a variable percentage according to patient's body contour and

The results of any of several methods of breast reconstruction were not available to us for review because of the rarity of this clinical problem.
