Plastic surgeons are keenly aware of the principle "replace like with like." This principle underlies much of the rationale behind the clinical use of autologous fat transplantation, despite the procedure's drawbacks. Autologous fat transplantation is frequently used for a variety of cosmetic and reconstructive indications not limited to posttraumatic defects of the face and body, involutional ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: 33 years,W, 49kg,BMI < 17, sportive and very thin, was refered with rippling at both of breast at superiolateral side. Silicone implants were inserted to subglandular plane 20 months ago. It was decided to use autologous ADSC and PRP added fat graft. Rippling areas were marked with skin marker. Then fat graft was harvested and applied subcutaneously thorough minimal incis...

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...

It becomes obvious that fat tissue is not just storage of excess carbohydrate. It is a regenerative complex supporting from the skin surface to deeper organs comprising adult stem cells as well as high energy resource related with tissue repair and regeneration. Fat grafting technique, which has been performed for more than hundred years, is utilized to improve defects of facial contour, fat at...

550 “Doctor, can’t you just take some from here and put it there?” All plastic surgeons with at least a modest experience in breast surgery have heard these words, and have sadly replied that it was not possible. We present our theory and principles based on the literature and our personal experience with over 1000 fat-grafting procedures to the breast as evidence of a paradigm shift in the rea...

Since the importation of liposuction surgery into the United States more than a decade ago, we have witnessed a number of major technique changes and practice trends occur. One of us (L.M.F.) was the first dermatologic surgeon to undergo the "lipsuction experience" (Paris, 1977) under the tutelage of Giorgio and Arpad Fisher and Pierre Fournier, and another (R.S.N.) the first to undergo trainin...

We describe the case of a 45-year-old male patient who presented a retractile and painful scar in the nasolabial fold due to trauma which determined partial motor impairment of the mouth movements. We subsequently treated him with autologous fat grafting according to Coleman's technique. Clinical assessments were performed at 5 and 14 days and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgical procedure and we ...

Autologous fat augmentation of the vocal folds has become widely adopted as a means of vocal rehabilitation in patients with deficient glottal closure. In general, the injection method using autologous tissues has no problems regarding safety issues such as infection of unknown cause, but the period of continuous effect is not constant because absorption may occur after injection. In 99 cases d...
