ABSTRACT
Objective:To assess the efficacy and security of 2 940 nm Er∶YAG laser combined with electronic injection of collagen in treatment of striae gravidarum.Methods:The symmetrical spots on both sides of abdomen of 21 subjects with striae gravidarum were divided into treatment and control groups by simple randomization method in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, 903 Hospital from November 2017 to May 2019. The treatment group were treated with 2 940 nm Er∶YAG laser combined with electronic injection of collagen every 2 months for 3 sessions, and control group were received 2 940 nm Er∶YAG laser combined with electronic injection of physiological saline. The total effective rate, satisfaction, striae width, histopathology, and the adverse reaction were evaluated at 6 months after treatment.Results:A total of 19 subjects completed the whole trail. The clinical effective rate of the treatment group was 89.47% and the control group was 68.42%. In the treatment group, 11 cases were satisfied with and 6 cases were very satisfied with treatment outcome. In the treatment group, 8 cases were satisfied with and 3 cases were very satisfied with treatment outcome. The difference of total effective rate and satisfaction was statistically significant ( χ2 was 3.91 and 5.54, P was 0.045 and 0.019). The maximum width decreased by (1.53±0.97) mm on treatment side, and (1.37±1.01) mm on control side. The difference of striae width was statistically significant. No adverse effect was observed on both sides. Conclusions:The combination of the 2 940 nm Er∶YAG laser with electronic injection of collagen for treatment of striae gravidarum is a safe and effective approach for improving of striae gravidarum.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect of transplantation of autologous fat with stromal vascular fraction for breast augmentation.Methods From September 2012 to March 2014,15 people accepted breast augmentation by transplanting autologous fat with SVF under local anaesthesia.Three-dimensional computer tomography reconstruction (3D-CT reconstruction) was applied preoperatively and postoperatively,the data of the thickness of breast's subcutaneous tissue was compared to observe the breast contour improvement.Results Autologous fat was injected 2 times in 3 cases,and the rest were 1 time.6 months after operation,13 cases were satisfied with the results,and 2 cases were quite satisfied.3D-CT reconstruction was performed before operation and 6 months after operation;statistics showed that before operation the thickness of breast subcutaneous tissue of the right side was (11±4) mm,the left side was (11±6) mm;6 months after operation the right side was (14±3) mm,the left side was (16±3) mm (P＞0.05).The breast was soft,no major complication such as nodules,cysts or calcification were seen.Conclusions The transplantation of SVF with autologous fat is a safe,effective procedure for breast augmentation.3D-CT reconstruction can show more details of breast structures,which is a more effective method to guide and evaluate the lipotrans plantation.
