A tissue transfer method for reconstruction and augmentation of soft
tissue. The method includes harvesting adipose tissue from a patient. The
harvested tissue is processed via centrifugation to isolate a purified
subset of the adipose tissue including separating and removing a
substantial amount of triglycerides from the harvested adipose tissue.
The centrifugation may be performed to cause separation of water from the
purified adipose tissue and to cause separation of oil from mature
adipocytes. Specifically, the spin rates may be selected to be high
enough to cause lesions in the mature adipocytes that results in the
release of the oil. The method continues with implanting the purified
adipose tissue into the patient at a breast or other area identified for
reconstruction or augmentation. The implanting is performed based on an
injection pathway model that defines injection point locations and a
number of injection pathway directions from each point.
