Modern lipostructure: the use of platelet rich fibrin (PRF)
Objectives:
To evaluate the interest of growth factors adjonction during lipostructure.
Materials And Methods:
Between May 2005 and June 2012, 232 patients benefited from this modern approach of lipostructure with concentrate of platelets. The technique evolves on the simplification way.
Results:
All the patients were satisfied with the result with minimal associated resorptions. No massive resorption requiring a resumption of lipostructure was noted.
Conclusion:
By offering a matricial support to angiogenesis and by stimulating the proliferation of pre-adipocytes, the PRF could have a beneficial role on the cicatrization and the consolidation of an adipocyte graft.

As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
