Autologous Fat Transplantation

Importance Autologous fat transplantation for breast augmentation has become a standard technique and is widely applied. The major weak point is that long time results, especially sudies about long term volumetric survival of the fat grafts have not been available yet. Observations We compared the available literature about volume survival after fat transplantation, including recent findings six years after fat transfer to the breast, showing stable results and even volume gain of transplanted fat grafts in patients that gained weight. Conclusions Fat transplantation to the breast for cosmetic breast augmentation offers stable long term results in terms of volume survival of the transplanted fat grafts. The available long term studies do not show any late complications of fat transfer.

Attention To Detail

A preliminary analysis of the methods that have been used and the results achieved since fat grafts were first used in 1889 is presented. Descriptions of the techniques used by several practicing physicians were collected by personal communication and a review of the literature and are recorded in this paper. Although the process of fat transplantation has not been standardized, it can no longer be considered an experimental procedure as enough surgeons have shown that there can be consistently good results. Failures and complications are not the result of the theory that fat cannot be transplanted, but the result of errors in technique and not adequate attention to detail.

Transcutaneous Lower Blepharoplasty

AbstractBackgroundLower blepharoplasty has been used for rejuvenating lower eyelids, and diverse modifications have been used to treat conjunct deformities at the tear trough/lid-cheek junction. Strategies for recontouring prominent tear trough/lid-cheek junctions, including orbital fat manipulation, have been reported with good results in the literature. Micro-autologous fat transplantation (MAFT) is a previously unevaluated, potentially advantageous approach to blending the prominent tear trough/lid-cheek junction.ObjectivesWe determined the long-term results after 3-step transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty with MAFT for patients with aging eyelids and prominent tear trough/lid-cheek junctions.MethodsWe evaluated 205 patients with aging lower eyelids who underwent transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty with MAFT between October 2010 and September 2016. The 3-step procedure involved a subciliary elliptical skin excision, resection of 3 orbital fat compartments, and MAFT for the tear trough/lid-cheek junction employing a MAFT-GUN under intravenous anesthesia.ResultsThe mean patient age was 52 years (range, 34-78 years). The mean operating time was 61 minutes. The mean fat volumes delivered to the tear trough/lid-cheek junctions were 2.80 mL and 2.76 mL for the left and right sides, respectively. The average weights of the 3 resected orbital fat compartments were 0.58 g for the left side and 0.56 g for the right side. Patients showed significant improvement and maintenance at an average follow-up of 60.2 months (range, 18-90 months).ConclusionsThree-step transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty with MAFT is an effective, reliable, and promising method with high patient satisfaction and minimal risk of complications. Long-term results demonstrated its utility for aging lower eyelid treatment.Level of Evidence: 4

Abstract Background Autologous fat transplantation for breast augmentation represents an increasingly interesting technique in plastic surgery. Only a few standardized procedures are available. Hybrid augmentation mastopexy combines the benefits of autologous fat transplantation and implant-based breast augmentation mastopexy, reducing implant-related complications and prothesis size. Herein, we describe our surgical approach as a “hybrid aesthetic surgery.” Methods A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent hybrid breast augmentation and lifting with simultaneous fat grafting was carried out. Clinical outcomes, ultrasound evaluation of upper pole fullness, aesthetic postoperative results, and complications were examined. Results Eighteen patients with a mean age of 33 years (range: 24–52 years) and mean BMI of 25.8 kg/m2 (range: 21.4–32.1 kg/m2) were included in this study. Mean injected fat volume per breast was 115 cc (range: 78–144 cc). Patients were followed up for a mean of 9.4 months (range: 6–24 months). No fat necrosis or major complications were encountered during the follow-up. Patient satisfaction was high in terms of breast shape, size, and coverage of the breast implant. No recurrence of ptosis was observed yet and no secondary revision surgery was performed. Conclusions Hybrid mastopexy augmentation is an effective and safe procedure that combines the benefits of autologous fat grafting and implant-based breast augmentation. The transfer of autologous soft tissue allows obtaining a natural breast shape, reducing the onset of rippling and prothesis size. The reduction of prothesis size prevents ptosis recurrence but provides the desired projection. This reliable option improves long-term breast shape with elevated patient’s satisfaction. Level of evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study.
