ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the method and experience of augmentation mammoplasty with autologous fat transplantation assisted by external expander.Methods:From January 2013 to December 2020, 352 female patients (698 breasts, 346 bilateral and 6 unilateral), aged from 18 to 55 years, with an average age of 41.5 years, were admitted to the Department of Cosmetic Surgery, Beijing Jingmei Medical Cosmetology Clinic. From 1-28 days before surgery, autologous fat transplantation was performed after wearing the dilator, and postoperative wearing of the dilator lasted from 1 to 24 months, with an average of 3.5 months.Results:The volume of fat transplantation per breast ranged from 150 ml to 460 ml, with an average of 320 ml. No obvious postoperative complications such as fat liquefaction, infection, intramammary induration and fat embolism were observed, and the postoperative appearance was lasting. The postoperative follow-up was conducted from 6 months to 7 years, and patient postoperative satisfaction rate reached 84.9% and doctors＇ satisfaction after surgery reached 82.1%.Conclusions:Augmentation mammoplasty with autologous fat transplantation assisted by external expander can effectively improve the appearance of breast morphology and contour defects and increase the survival rate of fat transplantation, which is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate methods and experience of autologous granular fat transplantation by correction of aging face. Methods 178 cases of aging face subjects were treated by liposuction. Then autologous granular fat was harvested by liposuction,centrifuged and purified, and injected into marked areas of aging face. The injection process should be controled by multilevel and multiple tennel, in order to supplement the loss of facial soft tissue volume and improve the aging face. Results The follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 3 years. All the subjects had a satisfactory results with no obvious complications such as fat liquefaction, infection and ulceration. The effect of autologous granular fat transplantation was obvious and permanent. Conclusions Autologous granular fat transplantation is a safe and effective surgical technique for facial soft tissue augmentation that can effectively improve aging face and worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of vacuum suction on shaping sliming and breast anaplasty, to expand indications of vacuum suction, and to improve its result. Methods Based on injection of swelling solution more than routine dosage, vacuum suction was used in totally 825 cases, including local fat deposit in face or other sites of body, macromastia in female, hypermastia in male, lump after breast anaplasty by autograft of fat granule, as well as infection and induration after breast anaplasty by injection of polyacrylamide. Results Satisfactory rate of subjects to vacuum suction was up to 96 %, and clinical efficacy rate of the operation was 100 %. As to sliming cases, there were significant decreases in their measurements of figures or dimensions. In case of the lump from breast shaping by fat granule autograft, as well as the infection and induration caused by injection of polyacrylamide during breast anaplasty, vacuum suction could resolve all of them wonderfully. Conclusions When used properly, vacuum suction may play an excellent role in shaping sliming and breast anaplasty, and it can also resolve those complications brought up in breast shaping by fat granules autograftor and by polyacrylamide injection. Vacuum suction decreases the pain and cicatrisation caused by invasion surgery significantly.
ABSTRACT
Chitosan, a linear polysaccharide, is obtained by chitin N deacetylation. Its ?(1 4) glucosidic bond is not stable and breaks easily in acid condition. In this study, chitosan of different molecular weights(MW) was prepared by acetic acid degradation. Chitosan was dissolved at 3%(w/v) concentration in 1%(v/v) acetic acid and the solution was dried at 50 degree C. We get chitosan membranes of different MW after neutralization with aqueous NaOH. The membranes are transparent, elastic and have good intensity. The permeability studies on chitosan membranes were going on with a permeable install made by our laboratory. It was determined by the transmission concentration of NaCl, L Tyr, glucose and calf albumin. We compared the permeability property with different MW chitosan membranes. The result implied that all of the four samples could permeate through the chitosan membranes. And the permeability property of the membrane increased with the chitosan MW decreaseing.
