A short procedural segment from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD discussing fat transfer to the breast. The speaker states they will use an auto transfuser (Wells Johnson) to reinject fat and emphasizes placing grafted fat in the natural plane between the skin and breast tissue rather than into breast tissue itself to avoid cysts or mammographic abnormalities.
So we're going to put the fat back. We're going to use the auto transfuser from Wells Johnson. So it's just going to pump through. I'm in the plane between the skin and the breast tissue, which is a natural fat plane. Everyone has it, and that's where the fat should be placed. Because the fat should not be injected into the breast tissue, it'll create cysts or mammographic abnormalities.
