Ultrasound Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Lumps after Breast Augmentation with Autologous Fat Grafting.

Background: Breast augmentation with autologous fat has been performed in Japan for over 30 years. However, complications include breast lumps and oil cysts. Such breast lumps greatly reduce patient satisfaction, and are currently difficult to diagnose and treat for many cosmetic surgery clinics.

Our Experience with 131 Cases of Simultaneous Breast Implant Exhange with Fat (SIEF).

Background: Breast augmentation with fat injection is a growing trend in Japan. Many Japanese patients experiencing breast implant complications are requesting to have their breast implants removed and simultaneously exchanged with autologous fat injection. The keys of our simultaneous implant exchange with fat (SIEF) process are to embrace the "Coleman technique" and to carefully detach implant capsules when removing breast implants.
