ABSTRACT
Objective@#Report the experience of autologous fat grafting forfacial contouring and rejuvenation patients.@*Methods@#Retrospective analysis the treatment of 450 facial contouring and rejuvenation patients with global optimization autologous fat grafting in Plastic Surgery Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2011 to December 2017. Using low negative pressure liposuction technical and blunt cannula (diameter 2.5 mm and 2.0 mm), different fat particle was harvested and concentrated by a cotton pad. The one-hole blunt cannula was used for fat grafting with multi tunnel and multi-point and two layer(deep and superficial)injection ways, regularly following up and taking picture for imaging evaluation.@*Results@#All patients were successfully performed with fat grafting. Grafted fat volume was 15-65 ml. There were 132 cases of local skin bruising after operation, which gradually subsided about 2 weeks, no severe complications occurred. 450 patients were followed up for 6-12 months. Facial contour and skin texture were improved without subcutaneous nodules and irregularity. The outcome of all patients were satisfactory. Of a total of 450 patients, 319 (70.89%) were evaluated as very good result, 94 (20.89%) as good result, and 37(8.22%) asregular result.@*Conclusions@#Optimization autologous fat grafting can improve the facial contouring and rejuvenation with little complications and satisfactory results.
ABSTRACT
Objective To report our experience of breast augmentation patients with fat grafting.Methods The treatment of 560 patients with fat grafting for breast augmentation was summarized in our hospital from Jan.2011 to Dec.2015.Fat was harvested using low negative pressure liposuction technique with 3-hole blunt cannula (diameter 2.5 mm).The fat was managed using cotton pad for concentration of fat tissue and separating them from fluids,oil,and debris.A diameter 2.5 mm,1-hole blunt cannula was used to place the fat through 3-mm incision on inframammary fold,fat grafting with multi-level and multi-tunnel and multi-point injection ways,regularly taking picture for imaging evaluation.Results All patients were successfully performed with breast augmentation,and no severe complications occurred.Grafted fat volume ranged from 180 to 400 ml (average,235 ml) per breast.Most of women had a significant improvement in their breast size and shape postoperatively,and the breasts were soft and natural in appearance.The patients were followed up for 18-24 months,and the outcome were satisfactory.Conclusions Autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation simplifies the operation procedure with satisfied results (natural breast and body contouring) and avoids the complications of breast prosthetic procedures.
