What Patient-related Factors Most Strongly Influence Autologous Fat Grafting Volume Retention in Breast Augmentation?

Regarding autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation, the factors influencing volume retention are unclear. Few studies have assessed which factors, particularly patient-related variables, could affect volume retention and to what extent, without performing multivariate analysis. In this study, we performed three-dimensional breast volume measurements before and after autologous fat grafting, calculated the volume and volume retention, and investigated factors that may affect volume retention.
