Autologous fat tissue transfer

Dr. Klaus Ueberreiter received his medical degree in 1983 and qualified as plastic surgeon in 1998 at the Medical University of Hannover, Germany. From 1998 to 2011, he served as Chief Physician at the Department of Plastic Surgery of the Asklepios Clinic in Birkenwerder, Germany. Since 2012, Dr. Ueberreiter has been Chief Physician at the Park Clinic Birkenwerder near Berlin, Germany, a clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery with a focus on autologous fat transfer, in particular for breast augmentation and reconstruction. In 2007, he developed the BEAULI method, a new approach to the gentle recovery of fat cells by means of water stream liposuction. Dr. Ueberreiter is a member of several societies, e.g. the German Society for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (DGPRÄC), the German Society for Senology (DGS), and the German Society of Wound Healing.

This book describes the latest autologous fat transfer techniques used in connection with wrinkles, breast augmentation, breast reconstruction after ablation, middle face augmentation, scars, chronic wounds, gluteal augmentation and rejuvenation of the hand. All autologous fat transfer techniques, such as BEAULI, Coleman, Shippert, and Khouri, are explained with regard to successful transplantation and reinjection.
Further, the book includes chapters on patient prerequisites, patient education, treatment documentation, and objective post-treatment assessment of the outcome using volumetric documentation. The practical presentation of the information, together with a wealth of illustrations, makes this book a valuable guide for plastic and aesthetic surgeons, dermatologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, gynecologists and all other specialists in aesthetic surgery who offer reconstructive or aesthetic autologous treatments.
