Introduction: The regeneration of adipose tissue in patients after breast cancer surgery would be desirable without the use of growth factors or cells to avoid potential recurrence and metastasis. We reported that prolate spheroidal-shaped poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) mesh implants of approximately 18-mm polar diameter and 7.5-mm greatest equatorial diameter containing collagen sponge (CS) would be replaced by regenerated adipose tissue after implantation, thereby suggesting an innovative method for breast reconstruction. Our study aimed to evaluate the adipose tissue regeneration ability of implant aggregates in a porcine model.

Methods: We prepared implant aggregates consisting of thirty PLLA mesh implants containing CS packed in a woven poly (glycolic acid) bag. The implant aggregates were inserted under the mammary glands in the porcine abdomen for a year. Single and double groups were classified by inserting either one or two implant aggregates on each side of the abdomen, respectively.

Results: In both groups, the volume of the implant aggregates decreased over time, and the formation of adipose tissue peaked between 6 and 9 months. Histologically, the formation of adipose tissue was confirmed in the area that was in contact with native adipose tissue.

Conclusions: Our implant aggregates could induce the autologous adipose tissue after long term implantation in vivo, without the use of any growth factor or cell treatment, presenting a potential novel method of breast reconstruction.
