NCT ID NCT04625621
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at breast reconstruction using only a patient's own fat (lipomodulin) after mastectomy for breast cancer. Researchers wanted to see how often the procedure works, how the breast looks afterward, and how it affects quality of life. The study included 118 women who had this type of reconstruction between 2012 and 2020.
