Our Principles Regarding Optimal Fat Preparation

“Fresh” fat	Tumescent infiltration at the start of the procedure, succeded by the breast augmentation surgery and then harvesting followed by purification and immediate grafting
“Small size” fat	Small aliquots are obtained by harvesting with multihole 2.4-mm or 3-mm cannulas
“Good quality” fat	Use a filtration/purification device to try to remove oil, red blood cells, white blood cells, and debris from the lipoaspirate
“Standardized” fat injection	Subcutaneous injection in small deposits—Coleman multitunnel injection technique with a bulb tip canula to ensure safety
