Autologous Fat Grafting as a Novel Approach to Parastomal Soft-tissue Volume Deficiencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY The aim of this study is to describe a novel approach to revise maladaptive soft-tissue contour around an ileostomy. A patient with permanent ileostomy suffered from significant defects in soft-tissue contour due to scarring and wound contraction. He underwent autologous fat grafting to achieve sealing of his stoma appliance and improve cosmesis. Due to numerous surgeries, the stoma appliance would not seal and required daily appliance changes. The patient received autologous fat grafting to augment the contour around stoma. A complete fitting of stoma was achieved. The patient is satisfied with stoma sealing and is changing his stoma appliance every 5-7 days without skin excoriation. Autologous fat transfer is an effective approach to treat a subset of stoma patients with complex subcutaneous defects.

Platlet Rich Plasma (PRP) Improves Fat Grafting Outcomes
Autologous fat transfer offers many qualities of a ideal soft tissue filler. Main advantages of fat grafting ensue from the fact that the lipoaspirate tissue is an abundant source of regenerative pluripotential cells. However, the reported rates of fat cell survival vary greatly in the medical literature (10-90%). Different techniques of harvesting, processing, and reinjecting the fat cells are...
متن کاملManagement of Facial Asymmetry with Combination of Orthognathic Surgery and Autologous Fat Transfer
Facial asymmetry is a challenge for craniofacial surgeons to correct. Our center currently uses three dimensional (3-D) surgical designs by combining cone-beam computed tomography scans and 3-D photographs (3dMD, Atlanta, Ga). Computer assisted surgical designs can help the surgeon achieve facial skeletal symmetry [1]. However, even if skeletal symmetrisation can be achieved, such patients almo...

متن کاملFacial augmentation with structural fat grafting.
Fat grafting through a blunt cannula has been used by plastic surgeons for altering facial contours for 100 years. Autologous tissue is completely biocompatible and is usually the safest choice for altering facial volume or contours. Fat grafts can be placed in such a fashion that they are long lasting, completely integrated, and natural appearing. Only in the past 20 years have advances in tec...
