Mapping the Research Landscape of Autologous Fat Grafting in Breast Augmentation.

With increasing demand for cosmetic breast augmentation, autologous fat grafting (AFG) has become increasingly favored due to its natural feel, biocompatibility, and easy accessibility. The hotspot burst analysis revealed that recent research focused on breast volume. The Walktrap algorithm highlighted promising areas: "breast augmentation, injection, safety" and "complications, reconstruction, surgery". While AFG offers promising results, challenges, such as fat resorption and variable outcomes remain. Advancing procedural techniques and conducting high-quality, long-term clinical studies are essential to improving fat retention, minimizing complications, and ensuring patient satisfaction.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
