New study uses 3D imaging to track fat graft success in breast reconstruction
NCT ID NCT06343831
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to better understand how well fat grafting works for breast or chest wall reconstruction. Researchers will use 3D photos, MRI, and ultrasound to measure changes in the breast area over time. Participants will also fill out a questionnaire about their satisfaction and quality of life. The goal is to improve how doctors evaluate the success of this procedure.
