title: [Secondary breast reconstruction using exclusive lipofilling].
abstract: Lipofilling is usually performed in breast surgery for treatment of aesthetics sequelae after breast conserving surgery or correction after breast reconstruction by prothesis or musculocutaneous flaps. We present a case of a patient where exclusive lipofilling breast reconstruction has been successfully performed. Aesthetic result is assessed by the patient and the surgeon as very satisfactory after one year of follow-up. This technology not much used in this present indication have important advantages in terms of tolerance or morbidness but the long-term results depend on not controlled factors such as volumetric cast iron or fatty resorption. Further studies are necessary to define the patients will be able to benefit from this technology and to assess the modalities of follow-up but also to measure evenly practicability, stability of reconstruction and its evolution in time. However, aesthetic result and contentment of the patient allow us to envisage the broadcasting of this technology of mammary reconstruction for selected patients.
