ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of SVF-gel and Coleman fat in facial volume filling.Methods:This investigation presents a retrospective study of facial fat transplantation in 186 patients (114 cases of SVF-gel transplantation and 72 cases of Coleman fat transplantation) from December 2018 to September 2020 in Shanghai Basilica Clinic. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with the satisfaction questionnaire and secondary operation rates were tallied.Results:Facial augmentation and contour were improved in all patients. The satisfaction rate among the patients in the SVF-gel group was 93.0%, while that among the patients in the Coleman fat transplantation group was only 56.9% (χ 2=8.694, P<0.05). Patients in the SVF-gel group experienced less swelling and there was a lower secondary operation rate in the SVF-gel group than those in the Coleman fat transplantation group (1.75% vs 18.1%) (χ 2=13.467, P<0.001). Conclusions:SVF-gel has obvious advantages over traditional fat transplantation in facial volume filling and rejuvenation.
