Abstract：Objective To discuss the efficacy and safety of autologous fat transplantaion for breast aug-mentation.

After washing with cool normal saline to remove blood, the fat was managed with open method u-sing cotton towel as a platform for concentration fat tissue and separating them from fluids, oil and debris. A 14-gauge, one-hole blunt cannula was used to place the fat through 3 mm incision on inframammary fold. The fat was infiltrated into the breast from deep to superficial subcutaneous plane. Using blunt cannula could prevent it from penetrating into the compact glandular tissue. Results 305 patients all obtained primary healing.
