Fat grafting is: Becoming more and more popular for breast surgery revisions, cosmetic surgery, and many other things. While nothing in medicine is ever really "new" the technique's popularity is usually credited to sydney coleman in nyc. Typically it's been said you lose about 1/3 of fat grafts via the coleman method, but this seems to be less with new harvesting and processing products and techniques.

Fat Graft : The success of fat grafting is highly dependent on the skill, technique, and experience of the plastic surgeon during each stage of the process (harvesting via liposuction, processing, and reinjecting) as well as the patient’s attention to detail following post-op instructions. 10 questions to ask during a fat grafting consult: https://www.cosmeticsurg.net/blog/2014/05/29/10-questions-to-ask-your-surgeon-about-fat-grafting/
