What this Trial Is About
This is a single-arm, prospective pilot study that will objectively assess outcomes in patients electively undergoing Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT) for breast or chest wall reconstruction. Patients planning to undergo autologous fat transfer for breast or chest wall reconstruction will be enrolled prospectively. Participants will undergo standard photographs (2-D imaging) of their chest wall and torso, including the breasts, and complete a validated questionnaire (BREAST-QTM) to evaluate patient satisfaction, and quality of life, all standard of care. The 3D photographs, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Ultrasound (US) are routinely used in practice but will be performed for research purposes in this study. All imaging procedures and questionnaires will be obtained at baseline and follow-up visits 3-6.
