We propose a safe, simple, and novel method to harvest fat using a standard liposuction cannula and a Redivac or alternative closed-suction drain. The authors have used this technique for both 'dry' and 'wet' liposuction. This technique is both easy to perform and cost-effective whilst providing both a silent and relatively atraumatic fat harvest. The lower negative pressure compared with tradi...

Lupus panniculitis is a rare manifestation of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, which may lead to major aesthetic sequelae with a severe impact on patients' quality of life. We report 2 cases supporting the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of lipofilling in the treatment of lupus panniculitis-induced atrophy. These observations pave the way for prospective, larger-scale studies in patients...

BACKGROUND The increased resorption and the difficulty of the fat graft take following autologous fat transplantation procedure are associated with reduced fat tissue revascularization and increased apoptosis of adipose cells. We suppose that the lipofilling procedure induces an inflammatory environment within the fat graft mass, whose evolution influences the efficacy of autologous fat graft s...

BACKGROUND Cancer cells are typically surrounded by stromal cells and embedded in extracellular matrix (ECM). The stromal compartment interacts with cancer cells to promote growth and metastasis. For decades, autologous fasciocutaneous flaps have been safely applied for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. In contrast, the safety of fat grafting (lipofilling) procedure has been under debate ...

BACKGROUND Stem cell enrichment is generally believed to be of crucial importance for success in lipofilling for cosmetic breast augmentation. No comparative clinical studies have been reported to support this. METHODS A total of 18 women underwent breast augmentation with water-assisted lipotransfer (WAL). In 10 of the cases, transferred lipoaspirate was enriched with stromal stem cells usin...
