Drs Karp and Choi and their research team presented 3 papers at the Plastic Surgery Research Council in San Francisco May 25 & 26 2010.  The papers all involved 3D imaging and studied fat grafting to the breast, long-term breast reduction surgery, and comparing short scar and traditional scar breast reduction surgery.  The papers were well received and continue to demonstrate Drs Karp and Choi’s leadership role in 3D imaging of the breast.

Drs. Karp and Choi are doing fat injection to the breast for breast augmentation and for revision of breast reconstruction.  This exciting new technology is available to patients who have had breast implant reconstruction as well as flap reconstruction.  The fat injection can improve most breast reconstructions.  For the breast augmentations, fat injections can be done initially or to replace implants that are already in place.
