Abstract
Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of adipose stem cell gel (SVF-gel) in facial and breast plastic surgery. Methods: A retrospective study of 60 young patients who underwent facial and breast fat transplantation from January 2017 to May 2019 in the Plastic Surgery Department of Yuebei People’s Hospital (SVF-gel transplantation group 30 cases, traditional Coleman fat transplantation group 30 cases), and analyze the patient's curative effect. Results: 60 patients were about 35 years old (34.66±8.76 years old in the SVF-gel group, 35.25±9.01 in the traditional Coleman fat transplantation group). The BMI of the SVF-gel group was 24.36±4.02, while that of the traditional Coleman fat transplantation group was 25.01±4.05. The follow-up time of 60 patients was about 8 months. The results showed that the fullness and contour of the face and breast of all patients were improved to varying degrees compared with preoperatively. The satisfaction degree of SVF-gel transplantation group was higher than that of traditional Coleman fat transplantation group. Conclusion: SVF-gel has obvious advantages over traditional fat transplantation in volume filling and rejuvenation of the face and breasts.
Highlights
Fat transplantation has the advantages of easy access to materials, good operation, good appearance, no rejection, long-term effectiveness, body shaping and no obvious scars
Adipocytes in adipose tissue were removed by pure physical methods to prepare adipose stem cell gel (SVF-gel) [3, 4], an injectable gel-like fat concentrate extract rich in stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells and extracellular matrix
We retrospectively compare its effect with traditional fat grafting
Summary
Fat transplantation has the advantages of easy access to materials, good operation, good appearance, no rejection, long-term effectiveness, body shaping and no obvious scars. Fat transplantation technology has been widely used in clinical practice, and it has become the most popular in cosmetic surgery [1, 2]. The long-term survival rate of fat after transplantation is unstable, which limits the wide application of fat transplantation. People apply many methods to improve the survival rate of transplanted fat, such as PRP, PRF and CAL-assisted fat transplantation, including cell-assisted lipotransfer (CLA) technology, by increasing the vascular matrix fragments in the transplanted fat stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cell concentration, thereby improving the survival rate of transplanted fat. It has been proved that the long-term survival rate after transplantation is much higher than that of ordinary fat transplantation [5]. We retrospectively compare its effect with traditional fat grafting
