The objective of this study is to retrospectively collect multicenter data on clinical characteristics, postoperative complications, reoperations, aesthetic outcomes, and oncological outcomes in patients who underwent breast reconstruction with adjunctive fat grafting after breast cancer surgery, and to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this approach.

This is a multicenter retrospective observational study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of adjunctive fat grafting in postmastectomy breast reconstruction. The study will include patients who underwent implant-based or autologous breast reconstruction at participating institutions between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2025. Data on the use or non-use of adjunctive fat grafting, reconstruction method, patient characteristics, postoperative complications, reoperations, aesthetic outcomes, and oncological outcomes will be collected from medical records. The primary outcome is the incidence of postoperative complications. Comparisons will be made between patients with and without adjunctive fat grafting, with planned stratified analyses according to implant-based and autologous reconstruction.
