Constrictions in the anterior part of the breast lead to tubular or trunk-shaped form deviation. Affected women suffer greatly. Instead of dilation with implants correction of the breast form with traditional fat transfer (lipofilling) or autologous stem cell-enriched fat (cell-assisted lipotransfer, CAL) can be performed to improve the breasts’ shape. This requires a special microsurgical procedure by which the connective tissue strands in the tubular breast are loosened prior to the fat implantation.
