The evolving techniques of augmentation phalloplasty and penile autologous fat transplantation (AFT) are described, with historical correlation. Experience derived from 200 procedures is presented, relating to patient selection, informed consent, biophotography, intraoperative technique, skin transfer, and postoperative care. While total corporal length remains unchanged, an outward gain of 1 to 5 cm (average 3 cm) can be obtained. Success with simultaneous AFT has been variable, and touch-ups may be required. Complications include disappointment with “low-end” results, reabsorption of fat (zonal and complete), seen especially with smokers, emergence of fatty nodules minimized by more thorough undermining, and one case of mucosal shaft edema and hyperesthesia still in follow-up. In general, patients are pleased and thus there is encouragement to refine and continue in appropriately selected cases.

Autologous fat transplantation is often used in aesthetic plastic surgery, and is recently becoming increasingly popular in the reconstruction of soft tissue defects following oncological surgery. A still not standardized technique of fat transplantation for breast cancer reconstruction is rapidly getting popular. The procedure is not a passive volume replacement, but transplantation of biologically active tissue bearing endocrine, paracrine, exocrine functions and containing fat-derived stem cells, which in the tumorous environment raises many questions in relation to the oncological safety and diagnostic follow-up. Although long-term results based on prospective, randomized studies are not yet available, published clinical experience is promising and reveals an effective and surgically safe procedure if used with appropriate indications and techniques. The authors conducted a broad review of the literature, presenting indications, technique, molecular interactions, and potential risks of the clinical results of autologous fat transplantation in the breast cancer reconstructive surgery. The authors initiated that breast and plastic surgeons should promote adequate long term follow-up of breast cancer patients who underwent breast reconstruction with autologous fat transplantation by the establishment of national registries.

Folliculitis decalvans is a rare clinical disorder classified as primary neutrophilic scarring alopecia with a slight preference for the male gender. Here, we report the use of autologous fat transplantation as a source of stem cell therapy for hair re-growth assisted by inflammatory action of the fat itself in a female patient. The patient underwent adipose transplantation in April and September 2017. After treatments, the patient had no new pustules and no longer had pain or burning sensation in the affected area. The hair has re-grown at the periphery area of alopecia appearing stronger and shinier.
