Male Pectoralis Major Muscle Augmentation with Autologous Fat Transplantation Using VASER Lipoaspirate: Evaluation with MRI

Hüseyin Kandulu, MD Ali Ege Terzibasioglu, MD

Background:

The popularity of autologous fat grafts has increased for the reshaping, contouring, and augmentation of the male breast tissue. However, long-term maintenance of tissue viability and the ways for assessment serve as hot-spot topics in the field. This study was designed to evaluate the viability of fat grafts obtained by a vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER)-assisted lipoaspiration procedure using a magnetic resonance imaging–based approach.

Methods:

This is a prospective examination of 20 male patients (40 breasts) who underwent VASER-assisted liposuction and fat grafting surgery, and long-term fat graft viability was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging scans.
