As a primary reconstruction, augmentation mammoplasty is applied to effect a post— mastectomy breast reconstruction , the repair of the chest wound consequent to the removal of a cancerous breast ; to correct congenital defects of the breast s ; and to correct congenital defects of the chest wall. The surgical implantation approach affects the global augmentation of the breast hemisphere using a breast implant filled with either saline solution or silicone gel; moreover, the surgical augmentation approach can include the application of transplanted autologous skin flaps harvested from the woman's body. The fat-graft transfer approach augments the size and corrects contour defects of the breast hemisphere with grafts of autologous adipocyte fat tissue , drawn from the woman's body. In a breast reconstruction procedure, within a multistage reconstruction mammoplasty, a tissue expander a temporary breast implant device is emplaced and used to prepare shape and enlarge the recipient site implant-pocket to receive and accommodate the breast implant prosthesis. In a non-implant breast augmentation procedure, some fat-graft injection approaches feature tissue-engineering, which is the pre-operative, external expansion of the tissues of the recipient site to receive the grafts of adipocyte tissue drawn from the woman's body.
