ABSTRACT
Resumen La liposucción es uno de los procedimientos estéticos que se realizan con mayor frecuencia a nivel mundial, con una baja incidencia de complicaciones y una mortalidad de 20 por cada 100 000 procedimientos y cuando se realiza en conjunto con una lipoinyección glútea la principal causa de muerte el embolismo graso. Se presenta el caso de una femenina de 32 años, sin patologías crónicas conocidas, la cual se asistió a un centro médico para que le realizaran una liposucción con lipoinyección glútea y falleció casi al finalizar la cirugía; en la autopsia Médico Legal se observó la presencia de material de aspecto adiposo en el tronco principal de la arteria pulmonar y en sus ramificaciones, en las cuales se obstruía por completo el lumen, mediante un estudio histopatológico se confirmó el diagnostico de embolismo graso, el cual se estableció como causa de muerte. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura sobre embolismo graso asociado a liposucción con lipoinyección glútea.
Abstract Liposuction is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures worldwide, with a low incidence of complications and a mortality of 20 per 100 000 procedures, and when it is performed in conjunction with gluteal lipoinjection, the main cause of death is fat embolism. This article presents a case of a 32-year-old female, with no known chronic pathologies, who was attended at a medical center to undergo liposuction with gluteal lipoinjection and died almost at the end of the surgery; In the Medico-Legal autopsy, the presence of adipose-like material was observed in the main trunk of the pulmonary artery and in its ramifications, in which the lumen was completely obstructed, a histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis of fat embolism, which was established as the cause of death. A review of the literature about fat embolism associated with liposuction with gluteal lipoinjection was made.

Introducción. La Lipoinyección de grasa autóloga con fines estéticos es una de las técnicas más jóvenes que permiten resolver problemas relacionados con valores concernientes a las elecciones personales que apuntan hacia la belleza, es un procedimiento quirúrgico sencillo y con resultados rápidos. Es una alternativa segura, real, sencilla y accesible que abarata costos, sobre todo con el uso de equipos y tecnología. Objetivos. Caracterizar los resultados estéticos de la Lipoinyección Labial con Grasa Autóloga en pacientes que asistieron a la consulta externa de Cirugía Plástica del Hospital Universitario "General Calixto García". Material y Método. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, descriptivo, de corte transversal, en el período comprendido entre octubre de 2018 a septiembre del 2019. Se seleccionaron aquellos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión y aceptaran a participar en el estudio voluntariamente. La muestra quedó constituida por 23 pacientes. La información obtenida se procesó mediante bases de datos confeccionadas en Excel, lo que permitió la realización de la estadística descriptiva simple para las variables individuales como media, desviación estándar y razón. La disposición a colaborar en el estudio se recogió en el modelo de Consentimiento Informado elaborado para esta investigación. Resultados. Predominio del sexo femenino en el 60.87 % de los operados. El grupo de edad entre 51 a 61 años fue el de mayor número de pacientes. Las complicaciones inmediatas más frecuentes en los labios fueron: la inflamación y los hematomas; las tardías fueron nodulaciones y endurecimiento. El 82.60 % de los pacientes se mostró satisfecho con los resultados. Conclusiones. La Lipoinyección labial con Grasa Autóloga se caracterizó por ser un método capaz de satisfacer el resultado estético. Las variables edad y sexo evidencian que las mujeres se realizaron más Cirugía Estética Labial que los hombres. Las variables clínicas labios finos y volumen evidencian que el aumento de la edad es una condición importante que se asocia a la demanda de esta técnica quirúrgica y que el ser hombre o mujer no establece una diferencia para la solitud de este tipo de técnica quirúrgica. Se presentaron complicaciones inmediatas y tardías. Los niveles de satisfacción expresados por los pacientes fueron altos.
Introduction. Autologous fat lipoinjection for aesthetic purposes is one of the youngest techniques that allow solving problems related to values concerning personal choices that point towards beauty, it is a simple surgical procedure with quick results. It is a safe, real, simple and accessible alternative that lowers costs, especially with the use of equipment and technology,Objectives. To characterize the aesthetic results of Lip Lipoinjectionwith Autologous Fat in patients who attended the Plastic Surgery outpatient clinic at the "General Calixto García" University Hospital. Material and Method. A prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in the period from October 2018 to September 2019. Those who met the inclusion criteria and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study were selected. The sample consisted of 23 patients. The information obtained was processed through databases prepared in Excel, which allowed the performance of simple descriptive statistics for individual variables such as mean, standard deviation and ratio. The willingness to collaborate in the study was included in the Informed Consent model prepared for this research. Results. female predominance in 60.87% of those operated on. The age group between 51 and 61 years was the one with the largest number of patients. The most frequent immediate complications on the lips were: inflammation and bruising; the later ones were nodulations and hardening. 82.60% of the patients were satisfied with the results.Conclusions. Lip Lipoinjection with Autologous Fat was characterized as a method capable of satisfying the aesthetic result. The age and sex variables show that women underwent more cosmetic lip surgery than men. The clinical variables thin lips and volume show that increasing age is Ìt a condition that is associated with the demand for this technique and that the Being male or female does not make a difference to the solitude of this type of surgical technique. There were immediate and late complications. The satisfaction levels expressed by the patients were high.

Background: Scleroderma is a rare disease of the tissues that is characterized for being inflammatory and developing fibrosis in the skin. Typically, this disease affects middle-aged women.Methods: A study was conducted in which 10 patients with scleroderma with involvement in the sclerotic stage were included. One of the hands was chosen randomly for treatment with fatty graft processed by Coleman technique and the other hand, physiological solution was placed. Patients were evaluated at 45 and 90 days after the procedure using the Cochin Hand Functional Scale (CHFS) questionnaire, modified Rodnan scale for the skin (mRSS), grip strength with dynamometer and measurement of fingertip to palm of hand in flexion.Results: The average of CHFS before treatment was 42.30 and 25.70 at 90 days p=0.007. The average strength in the experimental hand before treatment was 11.67 and 14.58 at 90 days p=0.007, in the control hand p=0.873. The mean finger-palm tip distance before treatment was 44.80 and from 36.00 to 90 days p=0.019, in the control hand p=0.149. There is a significant difference in the degree of severity at 90 days of the mRSS of the back of the hands p=0.011 and phalanges p=0.000 between the patients with lipoinjection and physiological solution.Conclusion: Significant improvement was observed in patients with scleroderma treated with autologous lipoinjection.
ABSTRACT
Progressive facial hemiatrophy, also known as Parry-Romberg syndrome, is a progressive and self-limited deformation of the subcutaneous tissue volume on one side of the face that creates craniofacial asymmetry. We present the case of a patient with a five-year history of progressive right facial hemiatrophy, who underwent facial volumetric restoration using cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL), which consists of an autologous fat graft enriched with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) extracted from the same patient. ASCs have the capacity to differentiate into adipocytes. They also promote angiogenesis, release angiogenic growth factors, and some can survive as stem cells. The use of autologous fat as a filler in soft tissue atrophy has been satisfactory in patients with mild and moderate Parry-Romberg syndrome. Currently, CAL has showed promising results in the long term by decreasing the rate of fat reabsorption. The permanence and stability of the graft in all the injected areas has showed that autologous fat grafts enriched with stem cells could be a promising technique for the correction of defects caused by this syndrome.
