Plastic surgeons are revisiting the question of whether liposuctioned fat can be used to restore or augment breast volume. The practice, which has been frowned upon by plastic surgery professional societies, has been recently studied by plastic surgeon Dr. Roger K. Khouri of Key Biscayne, Florida.
The procedure is fairly complex. Fat must be harvested as to maintain the integrity of the fat cells, after which the fat cells are cleaned before insertion to the part required.
