Autologous Fat Grafting
Conditions
Brief summary
Title: The Volumetric Analysis of Fat Grafting for Aesthetic Body Contouring. Subjects who wish to undergo fat grafting for aesthetic body contouring will be offered enrollment to the study. The study will consist of a Screening/Baseline visit, Surgery day and 3 follow up visits. Each follow up visit will utilize Vectra 3D photography (Canfeild, NJ) to collect volumetric data. At the conclusion of the study, Volume data from Baseline and 3 follow up visits will be analyzed to determine fat retention rates.
