====Post-cancer breast reconstruction==== After mastectomy, [[Free flap breast reconstruction|surgical breast reconstruction]] with autogenous [[TRAM flap|skin flaps]] and with breast implants can produce subtle deformities and deficiencies resultant from such global breast augmentation, thus the [[breast reconstruction]] is incomplete. In which case, fat graft injection can provide the missing coverage and fullness, and might relax the [[capsular contracture|breast capsule]]. The fat can be injected as either large grafts or as small grafts, as required to correct difficult axillary deficiencies, improper breast contour, visible implant edges, capsular contracture, and tissue damage consequent to radiation therapy.<ref name=Coleman/>
