Future Perspectives of Fat Grafting
Autologous fat grafting is an exciting part of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Fat serves as a filler and its role in tissue regeneration will likely play a more important role…
Complications of Fat Grafting
Recent technical and scientific advances in fat grafting procedures and concepts have improved predictability of fat grafting. Large-volume fat injection is gaining much attention as an attracting procedure for body…
Percutaneous Aponeurotomy and Lipofilling (PALF)
Dupuytren disease is a progressive fibroproliferative disorder, which leads to flexion contractures of the digits. A minimally invasive technique consisting of an extensive percutaneous aponeurotomy of the cord with a…
Regenerative Approach to Scleroderma with Fat Grafting
Grafted fat has many qualities of ideal filler; it is autologous, easily available, and naturally integrated into the host tissues. From a lipoaspirate, the adipose-tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction can be…
Regenerative Approach to Velopharyngeal Incompetence with Fat Grafting
Surgical management of velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) aims at improving voice resonance and correcting nasal air escape by restoring a competent velopharyngeal sphincter. Assessment of VPI requires the examination of multiple…
Regenerative Approach to Scars, Ulcers and Related Problems with Fat Grafting
The article focuses on the authors’ autologous fat grafting technique and its application in regenerative treatment of different scars and ulcers. Although easy to perform, this surgical approach requires some…
Safety of Lipofilling in Patients with Breast Cancer
Lipotransfer represents a technical revolution in plastic surgery and is increasingly used worldwide. Although known for several decades, lipofilling has only recently found widespread use in patients with breast cancer…
Tissue-Engineered Autologous Breast Regeneration with Brava®-Assisted Fat Grafting
A technique of whole and partial breast reconstruction is described based on tissue-engineering principles. Brava-assisted external tissue expansion generates an in situ biological recipient scaffold that favors the survival of…
The Role of Fat Grafting in Breast Reconstruction
Breast lipomodeling, or breast fat grafting, is a major development in breast plastic surgery. This technique has a low complication rate, excellent results, and patient acceptance. Radiologic evaluation mostly shows…
Combined Use of Implant and Fat Grafting for Breast Augmentation
Composite breast augmentation is a simple procedure combining the ability of an implant to provide increased volume with the reshaping possibilities offered by fat grafting. The ability to camouflage the…
