Abstract (original English)
Background/Objectives: Autologous fat grafting (AFT) has become a widely used technique in breast reconstruction, offering natural aesthetics, tissue integration, and patient satisfaction. However, its clinical outcomes require comparison with implant-based reconstruction (IBR), the most common method in clinical practice. While AFT provides a more natural appearance and avoids foreign body-related complications, issues such as fat resorption, procedural variability, and oncological concerns necessitate further investigation. Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly integrated into breast imaging and reconstructive planning, improving diagnostic accuracy, procedural optimization, and complication prevention. This study aims to compare AFT and IBR while exploring AI's role in enhancing breast reconstruction outcomes. Methods: A comprehensive review of clinical studies was conducted to evaluate the advantages, limitations, and oncological implications of AFT versus IBR. AI-driven applications in breast imaging and reconstructive planning were examined for their potential in predicting fat graft retention and optimizing implant selection. Data from systematic reviews and meta-analyses were incorporated to refine reconstruction strategies. Results: AFT offers superior aesthetic outcomes with better tissue integration but presents variability in fat resorptio
