PSRC Abstract Supplement P oter P rofs breast, receiving 97.2 mL of autologous adipose on average during each session. The most common indication for reconstruction in this study was found to be for aesthetic correction following mastectomy (90.6 % of patients). Fat grafting was most commonly used as an adjunctive therapy following initial implant (54.9% of patients) and flap (43.4% of patients...

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...

Aim: Autologous fat transfer (AFT) for the correction of maxillofacial defects was first reported at end 19th century. AFT introduced as a way improving facial esthetics and in last few years has expanded into applications craniomaxillofacial reconstructive surgery regenerative therapy. This protocol is part translational medicine. The aim medicine, or science, to combine disciplines, resources...

Autologous fat grafting after breast cancer surgery is commonly performed, but concerns about oncologic risk remain. To model the interaction between fat grafting and breast cancer cells, two approaches were employed. In the first approach, graded numbers of viable MDA-MB-231 or BT-474 cells were admixed directly into human fat grafts and injected subcutaneously into immune-deficient mice to de...

BACKGROUND Although autologous fat grafting is widely accepted for breast reconstruction, its indications remain limited to minor contour deformities after reconstruction and small deformities after breast-conserving surgery. The authors describe a case series of total or nearly total breast reconstructions treated with the perioperative use of a vacuum-based external tissue expander (i.e., the...

RATIONALE Although numerous reconstruction protocols have been reported for lower leg trauma, those for distal leg trauma remain few. We present the case of a woman with an implant exposure wound, who was successfully treated through fat grafting, without major flap surgery. PATIENT CONCERNS An 83-year-old woman with an exposed implant in lower extremity received reconstruction surgery once a...

AIM To explore the efficacy of tear trough deformity treatment with the use of hyaluronic acid gel or autologous fat for soft tissue augmentation and fat repositioning via arcus marginalis release. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients with the tear trough were divided into three groups. Class I has tear trough without bulging orbital fat or excess of the lower eyelid skin. Class II is ...

Abstract Case A 74-year-old female patient presented with severe osteoarthritis and pathological fracture of the left knee, following treatment radiotherapy osteosarcoma over a decade ago. Surgical management was initially not possible, due to radiation-induced fibrosis skin. She referred plastic surgery department where she underwent total three sessions fat grafting nine months. The rigotomy ...

Autologous fat is considered the ideal material for soft-tissue augmentation in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The primary drawback of autologous fat grafting is the high resorption rate. The isolation of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue inevitably led to research focusing on the study of combined transplantation of autologous fat and adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) and introd...
