Clinical Trials and Research
Fat Grafting for Aesthetic Breast Augmentation-A Prospective Study of Autologous Fat Grafting for Breast Augmentation
Dr. Baker is also part of an Institutional Review Board approved study at Georgetown University Hospital sponsored by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. This study allows patients who qualify to have excess fat removed from parts of their hips, thighs, or abdomen and then injected into the breast to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts. Mammograms and MR imaging are both performed as part of the study to ensure safety. Patients are required to pay for the operation but imaging preoperatively and one year post-operatively are provided at no cost to study patients
