Abstract
Background
Autologous fat grafting (AFG) has growing interest for its versatility and efficacy in breast reconstruction. This scoping review aims to summarize the evidence for nonvolumetric indications of AFG in breast surgery and breast reconstruction.
Methods
MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science were searched from inception to March 2024. Articles were included if they used AFG in breast surgery for nonvolumetric indications. The primary outcome was the indication for AFG. Secondary outcomes included the capsular contracture (CC) rate, incidence of postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS), patient satisfaction, physician outcome measures, functional discomfort, and complications. A risk-of-bias assessment was performed.
