Resumo
There has recently been an increase in the use of fat grafting for the correction of congenital
or acquired breast deformities and for aesthetic breast treatment. This increase is due to the
emergence of novel fat grafting techniques that produce lasting and reliable results despite
some authors’ beliefs that the procedure might hinder breast cancer screening. This literature
review aims to identify the most frequently used breast fat grafting techniques, evaluate
their efficacy and safety, and report their major complications. The review was performed
after a search in the PubMed and LILACS databases, and only English-language articles
published over the past 5 years were assessed. There have been an increased number of
studies on the topic in recent years, and a specific fat grafting technique has been primarily
reported. Most studies in this area have shown that breast fat grafting does not affect radio-
logical breast cancer screening, whereas some studies have suggested that the use of grafted
fat may enhance the development of breast cancer. Despite the increased number of published
studies, few have a good level of scientific evidence. This review concludes that fat grafting s an alternative technique for the correction of breast deformities and moderate aesthetic
breast enlargement and should be performed by properly trained surgeons accompanied by
a radiology team that is experienced in breast imaging. Further studies with appropriate
scientific methodologies are needed to evaluate breast fat grafting.
