PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of fat embolism in organs such as lung and liver. METHODS Twenty rabbits underwent autologous intramuscular fat grafting in the right thigh after liposuction. The groups were determined according to the postoperative day that occurred in euthanasia: 60, 90 and 120 day. Then, lung and liver were excised and sent to the histopathology laboratory for analysis in s...

Fat redistribution through recycling of previously grafted fat hasn’t been reported. Two facial asymmetry patients are presented with history of fat grafting to the mandibular angle areas. Collected fat from these formerly fat grafted zones and swollen on subsequent extra body weight gain has been re-grafted in the temporal regions for contour enhancement and has retained volume as photographic...

INTRODUCTION: Pedal fat pad atrophy is associated with pain, decreased tissue thickness, and elevated foot pressures. To date, no objective studies have investigated the utility of injecting fat into the forefoot to treat this costly and debilitating form of lipoatrophy. We hypothesize that pedal fat grafting can reduce pain, improve function, increase tissue thickness, and decrease pedal press...

BACKGROUND Cell-assisted lipotransfer is a novel technique for fat grafting. This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of cell-assisted lipotransfer technology compared with conventional fat grafting. METHODS According to PRISMA guidelines, related articles in PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library were systematically searched. Studies focusing on fat survival rate and/or patient sat...

BACKGROUND Fat grafting has emerged as a useful method for breast contouring in aesthetic and reconstructive patients. Advancements have been made in fat graft harvest and delivery, but the ability to judge the overall success of fat grafting remains limited. The authors applied three-dimensional imaging technology to assess volumetric fat graft survival following autologous fat transfer to the...

BACKGROUND The tuberous breast syndrome is a condition that affects young women and can bring on serious disorders of self-esteem. There are numerous surgical techniques to correct this condition, but most of them include the use of breast implants to replace lack of volume. Nowadays, patients are increasingly becoming more demanding to get a definitive solution with minimal aesthetic sequelae...
