| Background The treatment of breast cancer evaluation nowadays relies on the cure rate figures and quality of life. Aim and objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy, complications, patient satisfaction, and esthetic outcomes of immediate lipomodeling used for correction of deformities resulting from breast-conserving surgery for patients with breast cancer and to evaluate lipomodeling and the incidence of local recurrence in its experimental level. Patients and methods This study was carried out on 50 female patients with malignant breast lesions admitted to the Surgical Department of Medical Research Institute and underwent breast-conserving surgery over a 1-year period. Results According to surgeon and patient assessment, most cases were good [20 (40%)] followed by excellent [18 (36%)] regarding surgeon assessment. Degree of satisfaction was four in 23 (46%) cases and five in 16 (32%) cases. Regarding esthetic results by the breast cancer conservation treatment core (BCCT.core) program, good results were higher, as seen in 23 (46%) patients, followed by fair results, with 18 (36%) patients. Conclusion Lipomodeling is a unique technique that enables autologous breast reconstruction and improves breast reconstructive surgery results by decreasing scar tissue, increasing breast softness, and creating a natural skin texture. It is possible to execute lipomodeling as a day-case procedure after breast cancer surgery, and the technique is safe. Without sacrificing oncological results, it seems to have adequate effectiveness in correcting abnormalities. | ||||
