ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the long-term follow-up result of mammaplasty by autologous granular adipose transplantation.Methods In combination with literature review,the late result was studied by means of a 18 years follow-up in a case of mammaplasty with autologous granular adipose transplantation.Results In this case,2 cm thickness of adipose tissue was formed in submammary space,it lacked lobule structure,adipose cells appearred in different size in some region,and nerve fiber was not observed.Under the same observing condition,capillary quantity in this adipose tissue was more than that in normal subcutanous fat,and the difference was significant (P ＜0.05).Conclusions If appropriate operation is carried out,the autologous granular adipose transplantation would be a safe and effective mammaplasty.The tranplanted fat might form new adipose tissue,which could survive for a long time.
