Adipose-derived stem cells for breast reconstruction after breast surgery – preliminary results

Abstract: Enrichment of fat grafts with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) has gained popularity due to promising preliminary results. Herein, we present two patients who were treated with ASC-enriched fat grafts following mastectomy and breast reconstruction with implants. Both exhibited favorable outcomes achieving a significant improvement of breast defects and asymmetries.

“…Due to the abundance of adipose tissue, as well as the minimally invasive procedures required to collect it, ASCs are a celebrated approach for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. For example, lipoaspirate preparations may be “enriched” by the addition of ASCs to improve graft volume retention (204, 403). However, the findings described below suggest that caution may be advised in use of ASCs in patients with a history of cancer.…”

“…Two fractions can be obtained from the adipose tissue isolate based upon cell density. The separation can be enhanced by density-based centrifugation employing compounds such as Percoll, gravity-based phase separation, and filtration that leaves mature adipocyte on the surface and the aqueous fraction at the bottom [9]. Filtration will be more precise as it can specifically isolate cells based on size, while centrifugation will pellet all the cells [10].…”
