BREAST CANCER
Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women globally, making it the most common cancer among women. Mastectomy, followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, is the standard treatment in over 50% of cases
BREAST RECONSTRUCTION
Breast reconstruction restores breast shape and volume after cancer treatment. Common methods include surgical implantation and non-surgical autologous fat grafting. However, these approaches have limitations, requiring multiple procedures and imposing financial burdens on healthcare systems, limiting accessibility for patients.

FAT GRAFTING
LIMITATIONS
Up to 80% of the reinjected fat is resorbed and disappears as quickly as within 2 months from the grafting procedure. The plastic surgeons are required to perform repeated fat grafting procedures with autologous fat to obtain the desired results. The accelerated fat resorption is the “Achille’s Heel” of the fat grafting technique for being widely used in breast reconstruction and in soft tissue augmentation.
AUTOLOGOUS FAT TRANSFER
Also called autologous fat grafting. Fat tissue is removed from other parts of the body by liposuction, fat is then processed into liquid and reinjected back into the desired area of the body for soft tissue augmentation. Fat grafting is emerging as a safe and preferred technique to restore the shape and volume of the breast.
OUR PRODUCT
SEBA™ innovation is a unique proprietary biologic delivery technology based on biodegradable Matrix Microparticles into which the active substance is embedded. It is possible to administer SEBA™ onto any quantity of fat tissue and control the release precisely at any desired rate, safely and cost-effectively to prevent fat resorption after a fat grafting procedure.

“Autologous fat grafting after breast reconstruction for mastectomy is done to help improve contour deformities and works really well. The downside is that not all the fat that gets injected lives.”
Stephanie Valente, DO
Director, Breast Surgery, Moll Cancer Center at Fairview Hospital.
“For women who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer, lipofilling is a safe procedure that restores breast volume and shape and that does not increase the risk of recurrent or new breast cancers.”
Steven J. Kronowitz, MD
Huston, Texas, Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
“The survival of fat grafts after injection for breast reconstruction can be quite variable in terms of ultimate survival and retention. However, if the fat graft is accepted, it will be there for life.”
Yehuda Ullmann, MD
Former Chairman of the Israeli Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery.
