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.
