A comparative study of simultaneous and delayed autologous lipofilling with rhytidectomy in facial rejuvenation / 中华整形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To discuss and analyze the respective clinical effects of autologous fat filling for facial rejuvenation in the same period of three months after incisions.@*Methods@#From June 2015 to January 2018, 117 patients with facial rejuvenation admitted to the Plastic Surgery Hospital of Weifang Medical College were randomly divided into A, B and C groups. Group A (39 cases, male 3 cases, female 36 cases, age 44-67 years old) received simple rhytidectomy. Group B (39 cases, male 4 cases, female 35 cases, age 45-67 years old) underwent rhytidectomy and autologous fat filling at the same time. Group C (39 cases, male 3 cases, female 36 cases, age 45-65 years old) received autologous fat filling 3 months after rhytidectomy. We compared the improvement of facial depression (nasolabial groove and mouth angle), the effect of facial rejuvenation after fat filling in three groups and the incidence of complications in group B and C.@*Results@#15 cases in group A, 12 cases in group B and 2 cases in group C had no obvious improvement in facial atrophy, the remaining 88 cases had obvious improvement compared with before operation, and achieved the effect of facial rejuvenation. The incidence of complications in group C (7.69%) was significantly lower than that in group B (35.90%), the excellent or good rate of facial improvement and the nasolabial groove and peri-oral depression improvement in group C (87.18%, 92.31%) was significantly higher than that in group B (64.10%, 64.10%) and group A (33.33%, 17.95%) (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Comparative analysis of fat filling after 3 months of wrinkle removal to improve facial soft tissue atrophy and collapse is more obvious and more permanent in effect than fat filling, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
