Breast Augmentation by Water-Jet Assisted Autologous Fat Grafting: A Report of 300 Operations

Background The BEAULI -method (Breast Augmentation by Lipotransfer) is available for extraction and processing of large transplantable fat quantities. The aim of this work is to describe the surgical technique precisely and reproducibly and to provide an overview of the autologous fat transfer based on surgical experience. Method The author performed 300 autologous fat transplantations on 254 women between September 3, 2010, and May 13, 2015. Patients desiring moderate volume increase, fuller and firmer breasts, as well as an optimization of the silhouette, ideally with the concurrent desire of the correction of unwanted fat deposits, were selected. The fat was extracted via water-jet assisted liposuction (Body-jet, Human Med AG, Schwerin, Germany), and the fat cells were subsequently separated with the Lipocollector® (Human Med AG, Schwerin, Germany). Results The results were assessed with a control exam and photo comparison and were based on the responses on a questionnaire. Overall, 35.9% of the patients defined the result as very good, 38.6% as good, 22.4% as satisfactory, and 3.1% as poor. Conclusion This study shows that the autologous fat cell transplantation into the female breast via water-jet assisted liposuction achieves a moderate and harmoniously appearing breast volume enlargement as well as contour improvement. Further studies with more cases and longer observation periods over several years could contribute to improving the method of the autologous fat transfer regarding the grow-in rate, efficiency, and safety.

Linear Scleroderma

Aim: Frontal linear scleroderma, also known as ‘‘en coup de sabre,’’ is a congenital deformity characterized by atrophy and furrowing of the skin of the front parietal area above the level of the eyebrows. In most cases it occurs as a single paramedian line that may be associated with hypoplasia of underlying structures and facial hemiatrophy. In case of a wide lesion many reconstructive strategies have been proposed. The modern approach is aimed at augmentation of the tissue deficiency by using lipostructure and tissue regeneration. Autologous fat transfer (AFT) seems to be an effective strategy to restore the normal volume and contour of the face while providing a source of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) with a multilineage differentiation potential. Methods: In this report, we present a rare case of linear scleroderma en coupe de sabre which was successfully managed with three stages of autologous fat grafting. Conclusion: The proposed uses for ADSCs in tissue repair and regeneration are quite impressive. Recent works on ADSCs would suggest that adult cells may prove to be an equally powerful regenerative tool in treating congenital and acquired maxillofacial disorders. More importantly, physicians, researchers and international associations need to cooperate in informing clinicians about what practices are based on evidence and to encourage support of additional research. There is increasing interest in a possible therapeutic effect of ADSCs from processed lipoaspirate for a wide spectrum of clinical applications in the facial and craniofacial area. AFT can be used in any facial area where soft tissue is lacking or where there is scarring, producing natural and long-lasting results. Mesenchymal stem cells represent a great tool in regenerative medicine. However, more definitive studies are needed to answer specific questions regarding the best technique to be used and the role of ADSCs. Autologous fat grafting provides a safe and easy approach for the treatment of linear scleroderma en coup de sabre, long-term clinically satisfactory results can be obtained.

Volumetric Measurements

The breast augmentation controversy continues. One alternative to silicone implants is to utilize the patient's own fat. Twenty patients completed the procedure of breast contouring with autologous fat transfer and have been followed closely with repeated breast volumetric measurements and mammograms for 1 to 5 years. The average fat retention has been 71% and the patients have been satisfied with the augmentation procedure. There has been no instance of firmness in these breasts and periodic mammogram examinations have demonstrated no distortion or masking of the breast tissue. The breast calcifications that have developed are of the benign type and are typical of any kind of breast sugery. The breasts may get larger with time. We feel this technique is a useful addition to our breast augmentation armamentarium and will become the procedure of choice for those who cannot have silicone implants and have good areas of disharmonious obesity to serve as donor sites.
