REVOLVE or PureGraft Technique in Processing Fat Grafts for Patients Undergoing Breast Reconstruction

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mammoplasty Patient

In brief

This trial studies how well REVOLVE or PureGraft technique works in processing fat grafts for patients who are undergoing breast reconstruction. During breast reconstructive surgery that uses autologous fat grafting (transplanting fat tissue from one part of your body to another), fat tissue is removed from the body (usually the abdomen, buttock, or thighs) and injected into another part of the body. This tissue must be "processed" (sometimes referred to as "washed" or "prepared") before being inserted back into the body. It is not yet known whether REVOLVE or PureGraft technique may work better in retaining graft fat after surgery.
