Abstract P17: Transcriptional Alterations of Adipose-Derived Stromal Cells in Culture

PSRC Abstract Supplement P oter P rofs breast, receiving 97.2 mL of autologous adipose on average during each session. The most common indication for reconstruction in this study was found to be for aesthetic correction following mastectomy (90.6 % of patients). Fat grafting was most commonly used as an adjunctive therapy following initial implant (54.9% of patients) and flap (43.4% of patients) reconstruction. The time from first oncological surgery to fat grafting occurred after a mean of 27.51 months and median of 14 months. Following the completion of fat grafting, patients were followed by a plastic surgeon for an average of 1 month. Twenty-six complications were found to have occurred, resulting in a complication rate of 21.3% in this population of patients. The most commonly reported complications were liponecrosis (19.2% of complications) and infection (15.3% of complications). During oncologic follow up, six patients were reported to have experienced breast cancer recurrence following autologous fat grafting for reconstruction resulting in a recurrence rate of 4.8%. Additionally, of the 59 patients with reported radiologic follow up, seven patients exhibited radiological abnormalities in the postoperative period (11.9%).
