A technique of whole and partial breast reconstruction is described based on tissue-engineering principles. Brava-assisted external tissue expansion generates an in situ biological recipient scaffold that favors the survival of large volumes of autologous fat graft required for breast reconstruction. Also presented are the results of the authors' multicenter experience with this regenerative alternative in 488 patients over a 7-year period tracking surgical complications, patient satisfaction, efficacy, and costs.
