Autogenous fat grafting, using tissue from liposuction, is superior to other tissues for improving body contour and correcting deep skin defects. Long-term studies show favorable outcomes for fat tissue remaining and patient recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Autogenous fat tissue is a preferred autograft for body contouring and deep skin defect correction.
  • Comparison with homologous and heterologous tissues highlights the advantages of autologous fat.
  • Liposuction-derived fat offers a viable source for reconstructive and aesthetic filling materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present techniques and specialized instruments for autogenous fat-graft injection.
  • To compare the efficacy of fat grafting with other filling materials for aesthetic and reconstructive purposes.
  • To analyze long-term outcomes, including fat absorption, survival, and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of specific fat-graft injection techniques and instruments.

  • Analytical and statistical study of 253 patients with long-term follow-up (1984-1988).
  • Evaluation of patient recovery, fat graft survival rates, and revision/complication data.

    • Main Results:

    • Autogenous fat grafts demonstrate superior performance in improving body contour and eliminating deep skin defects compared to other tissues.
    • Long-term follow-up indicates significant fat tissue survival and positive patient recovery.
    • Analysis includes data on fat absorption, remaining fat tissue volume, and incidence of revisions and complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Autogenous fat grafting is an effective method for body contouring and correcting deep skin defects.
    • The presented techniques and instruments facilitate successful fat graft procedures.
    • Long-term results support the use of autologous fat as a reliable filling material in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
