ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the influence of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on autologous fat grafting breast augmentation surgery.Methods A lot of 40 patients were divided randomly into the treatment group and control group, each group of 20 cases.In the treatment group cases PRP was used in addition to autologous fat grafting.Chest circumference and thickness of subcutaneous fat were measured before and 6 month after operation and 12 months later.The results were compared and the influence of PRP was evaluated after operation.Results Both groups of patients were satisfied with the results.Compared with the control group, patients in the treatment group showed the chest circumference and thickness of subcutaneous fat were significantly increased 12 months after operation.Conclusions The efficacy of PRP is significant in enhancing fat graft, reducing fat absorption in 12 mouths after operation.The fat tissue mixed with PRP is a reliable reconstruction option for the breast augmentation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the breast augmentantion by a large amount of auto fat granule injection. Methods The author selected the fat patients who wanted both breast augmentation and liposection. Large amount of auto fat granule, the fat suspended solution, was obtained from patient's abdomen or buttocks and thighs. The fat suspended solution had been washed by normal saline solution repeatedly, in order to get rid of blood, serum and liquefied fat. Then the auto fat granule solution was injected into breast glands and their underneath and behind pectoral majority muscle. The quantity of fat suspended solution injected was 150～305 ml in each side of breast. Total of 21 cases had been performed by auto fat granule solution injection in our department from Oct.1997 to April 2001. Results Breast augmentation by auto fat granule solution injection were successful and positive, without any complications. The results were satisfied both from patients and surgeons. It showed that the contouring of breast were improved and more chubbiness than that before operation. Conclusions The auto fat granule injection for the breast augmentation is an effective and practical method. It can also be used to inject into the other parts of the body to fill in soft tissue defects.
