Authors' recommendations:
There is a need for controlled trials (ideally randomised), assessing the effects of microcalcifications following autologous fat transfer on immediate and long-term breast cancer detection, to be conducted. Studies to determine the maximal breast volume increase reliably achieved by autologous fat transfer would also be useful in order to define the patient population who would benefit most from the procedure, as well as which breast indications should be treated using autologous fat transfer.
