Fat grafting is nowadays one of the most used techniques in plastic reconstructive surgery, as primary method or as an ancillary procedure. The optimized ratio of fat survival has led to standardized techniques followed by most practitioners.

This work highlights a new research area driven by a material science approach to dairy fats and dairy fat-rich products where innovative dairy products and ingredients can be tailor-made. Cutting edge topics such as tribology of dairy fats and dairy products, manipulation of differentiated-sized milk fat globules, milk fat interesterification for infant formula, structuring of lipids in dairy products and production of human milk fat substitutes by including dairy fats are featured in dedicated chapters authored by international scientific experts from across the globe.
