ObjectiveTo review the application and research progress of autologous fat grafting in breast reconstruction.MethodsThe recent literature concerning the technique, postoperative outcome, or limitations of autologous fat grafting in breast reconstruction was extensively consulted and reviewed.ResultsThere are several ways of breast reconstruction using autologous fat for patients who underwent mastectomy or breast conserving surgery. The complication incidence of fat grafting in breast reconstruction is low. Although the long-term outcome is unsteady, the aesthetic outcomes of autologous fat grafting can still reach a high satisfaction. However, the oncological safety of autologous fat grafting in women with breast cancer has not been fully proved.ConclusionThe remarkable progress has been made in the researches of autologous fat grafting, and it is an effective method in breast reconstructive surgery. Studies with high quality and longer follow-up data are urgently required to assess the oncological safety of autologous fat grafting.
