✦ Synopsis

The perfect breast implant fillant material would have higher viscosity than water and would be autologous and harmless. We describe the confinement of liposuction fat in implants using the Lipovacutainer during a routine liposuction procedure. This collected fat is prepared inside the Lipovacutainer and is reinjected through a Lipomedia filling cannula into a leaf valve implant as the fillant in place of saline. The implants are used for bilateral augmentation mammoplasty and breast reconstruction procedures. Our six clinical cases have been monitored closely using mammography and MRI. These cases showed slow liquefaction without interference with mammography studies. We obtained excellent overall body contours. All complications were correctable and non-life-threatening and there was no capsule formation.
