What are the advantages and disadvantages of autologous fat transfer

Autologous fat transplantation in the clinical application of about 100 years of history, with the development of medicine through several different periods, the earliest is applied to abdominal surgery, at present our most common application of granular adipose tissue transplantation is with the rapid development of liposuction surgery and the development of fat transplantation, that is, the 80’s began to modernize the true meaning of fat transplantation. Meaning autologous fat transplantation is from certain parts of the human body itself to suck excess subcutaneous fat cells, and then after suction of the mixture by purification and processing and other steps of the method to get the composite fat particles of the organization, selecting the complete particles of fat cells through the injection and then transplanted to the parts of their own need to fat filler, such as multiple places on the face, temples, nose, nasolabial folds, chin, breast, lips, etc., in order to achieve the correct deficiencies or for cosmetic purposes, or to treat skin aging. Advantages 1, because the transplanted tissues are all from autologous tissues, its biological characteristics are far better than any prosthetic materials, so it is non-toxic and harmless to oneself, and will not produce immune reaction and rejection. 2.It will not cause any change in the endocrine environment of human body, and it will not harm the mammary gland itself, and it will not have any adverse effect on the future fertility and breastfeeding. 3.Fat particle transplantation is relatively easy to take material, rich source of tissue. Everyone even very thin people can easily take more than 100ml of fat tissue, compared to more than 5000 yuan a 1ml of hyaluronic acid, 10,000 yuan or so a collagen, fat is simply cost-effective, and hyaluronic acid is extracted from cattle, collagen is extracted from pigs, the psychological problem is also a big problem of. And they only half a year to 2 years of life, compared to fat is too short-lived. 4, after fat transplantation of local, soft feel, real form, from the psychological feeling, to use their own fat transplantation than artificial material prosthesis real feel better, more acceptable. 5, the method of fat extraction, is less traumatic, less complications of wet vacuum liposuction, the liposuction incision generally about 3-5mm, so the healing scar is very small and is located in hidden parts (such as the umbilicus, hip line, etc.). For people with more localized fat accumulation, it can also play the role of weight loss and slimming, shaping beautiful curves, and can be said to be able to reshape the three circumferences. Disadvantages The survival rate of fat transplantation is low (generally about 30-70%), so each time you need to over-inject, and some people need to be many times in order to achieve good results, due to unstable absorption is the biggest defect of this method, but also the direction of the focus of the current research, the current animal experimental research is progressing rapidly, the clinic is also carrying out a mixture of autologous bone marrow stem cells, the effect is significantly improved, and it can obviously improve the The survival rate of transplanted adipose tissue and the survival quality of transplanted fat are also significantly improved. The progress of basic research and the improvement of surgical methods and the continuous accumulation of experience are also the basis of my current large number of fat surgery. Indications Autologous fat grafting has a wide range of indications, such as for filling the depressed facial defects or deformities, such as unilateral or bilateral facial atrophy, facial soft tissue dysplasia, zygomatic, temporal, frontal, orbital area of the depression, facial surgery or trauma caused by the depression, thin upper lip or too short in the middle of the person, nasolabial folds are too deep, rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, earlobes are small, etc.; used for congenital breast dysplasia, breast atrophy after breastfeeding, asymmetric size of both breasts. It is also used for bilateral breast size asymmetry, nipple concavity deformity; for concavity after liposuction, concavity of soft tissues in other parts of the body, such as buttocks, thighs, calves curvature, etc.; soft tissue atrophy of the hands (commonly known as chicken claw hands); and reshaping and molding of genitals, such as thickening of the penis, vaginal laxity, and atrophy. Points to note Autologous fat transplantation this surgery requires precise design and accurate positioning quantitative, the doctor’s technical requirements are relatively high, if casually do the effect is not good, the repair is more troublesome. The purpose of autologous fat transplantation is to solve the problem of depression, that is, to fill the local depression to make the facial contour smooth, it is a rejuvenation surgery, so it will not make the face bigger or fatter. There is no need to worry about scarring with autologous fat grafting, as it is a stitch-free procedure from fat removal to fat injection, all of which are very small. Autologous fat has absorption problems, and everyone’s survival varies. Two to three procedures may be required for optimal results, with at least three months between procedures.
