Abstract (original English)

An increasing amount of evidence supports the benefits of fat grafting for breast augmentation, correction following breast-conserving surgery, breast reconstructions as well as correction of tuberous, hypoplastic and asymmetrical breasts. The aim of fat grafting is to create a breast with an aesthetic, natural appearance. In this review, we describe the most common indications for fat grafting of the breast and give an overview of the techniques in use as well as their associated risks and future perspectives.
