Facial Defect

Parotidectomy is a surgical procedure associated to functional (Frey’s syndrome) as well as aesthetic (facial asymmetry) complications that can be very disturbing for the patient. Several procedures have been described to primarily avoid or secondarily reconstruct the facial defect and treat the neurological iatrogenic syndrome. Autologous fat transfer was primarily used in 10 cases to avoid such complications. It is an easy technique widely used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. This technique gives very satisfying long-term results on the cosmetic as well as on the physiological point of view.

Significant Difference

Autologous fat transfer may offer a simple and effective treatment option for chronic wound patients, delivering adipose-derived stem cells, with potent regenerative attributes. Nevertheless, the clinical benefit has not yet been sufficiently demonstrated. A total of 39 wound patients were treated with autologous fat transfer (AFT) and matched with a control group, according to the identified confounding variables “gender” and “method of defect closure.” All data were acquired retrospectively. Primary outcome was “wound closure” and “reduction of wound size.” After a follow-up of 48 weeks, there was no significant difference in primary outcome (wound closure P = .54) between both groups. The relative wound reduction after fat transfer was 69.9% ± 42.7% compared to 53.4% ± 106.8% in the control group ( P = .91). Subgroup analysis of all patients, healed by secondary intention, revealed an increased wound size reduction ( P  = .03) and wound closure rate ( P = .20) in the case group after 12 weeks. No adverse events were recorded. Fat grafting can reduce the wound size if left to secondary healing and may be considered individually for reconstructive purposes. A repeated application of autologous fat might be beneficial due to a temporary effect.

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.

Objective: To present a case of progressive hemifacial atrophy in a young woman with Parry-Romberg Syndrome and the role of autologous fat transfer to improve her aesthetic appearance and lessen facial asymmetry. Methods: Design:           Case Report Setting:           Tertiary Government Training Hospital Patient:           One Results: A 20-year old woman consulted because of drooping of the right eyelid and gradual thinning of right cheek muscles since age 16.  On examination, the right facial muscles were hypoplastic with prominent facial bony ridges. An MRI scan showed atrophy of the right medial pterygoid and masseter. She underwent autologous fat transfer on the right side of the face to augment the cheek, improve cosmetic appearance and lessen facial asymmetry.   Conclusion: Our patient is satisfied and happy with the outcome and cosmetic appearance of her autologous fat transfer and is ready to undergo the same procedure if the need arises in the future. Although no definite cure exists for Parry Romberg syndrome, our report illustrates the role of autologous fat transfer as an inexpensive, easily harvested and biocompatible material to improve facial asymmetry. The procedure yielded encouraging results, although long-term benefits remain uncertain.   Keywords: Parry-Romberg syndrome; progressive hemifacial atrophy; autologous transplantation

Autologous Fat Transplantation

Autologous fat transplantation is often used in aesthetic plastic surgery, and is recently becoming increasingly popular in the reconstruction of soft tissue defects following oncological surgery. A still not standardized technique of fat transplantation for breast cancer reconstruction is rapidly getting popular. The procedure is not a passive volume replacement, but transplantation of biologically active tissue bearing endocrine, paracrine, exocrine functions and containing fat-derived stem cells, which in the tumorous environment raises many questions in relation to the oncological safety and diagnostic follow-up. Although long-term results based on prospective, randomized studies are not yet available, published clinical experience is promising and reveals an effective and surgically safe procedure if used with appropriate indications and techniques. The authors conducted a broad review of the literature, presenting indications, technique, molecular interactions, and potential risks of the clinical results of autologous fat transplantation in the breast cancer reconstructive surgery. The authors initiated that breast and plastic surgeons should promote adequate long term follow-up of breast cancer patients who underwent breast reconstruction with autologous fat transplantation by the establishment of national registries.
