Background:
Many filling substances are useful in correcting dermal defects and/or wrinkles.
Objective:
To describe a novel autologous dermal implant.
Method:
Unwanted leg/hand veins and/or varicose veins are extracted in an ambulatory phlebectomy technique. The veins are then either chopped into pieces and injected into the defect or inserted whole after cellular destruction with 23.4% hypertonic saline.
Results:
Excellent correction of dermal defect has been obtained with long-lasting and possible permanent results. No complications have occurred.
Conclusion:
Autologous vein collagen transplantation can correct dermal defects with long-lasting and perhaps permanent results.
