AUTOLOGOUS FAT TRANSFER, BREAST LIPOMODELLING AND FAT TRANSFER TO THE FACE: CURRENT GOLD STANDARDS AND EMERGING NEW
Acta Chirurgiae Plasticae
|February 16, 2018
Summary
Autologous fat transfer, a popular cosmetic procedure, involves harvesting, processing, and injecting a patient's own fat. This review details techniques and outcomes for facial and breast fat grafting.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Autologous fat transfer is increasingly utilized for facial and body contouring.
- Controversies exist regarding optimal fat harvesting, processing, and injection methods.
- Fat grafting is commonly applied to the face and breast.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current autologous fat transfer techniques.
- To present the authors' experience and results with fat grafting.
- To discuss literature on fat grafting to the face and breast.
Main Methods:
- Review of contemporary literature on fat grafting.
- Presentation of the authors' clinical experience and outcomes.
- Analysis of fat harvesting, processing, and injection protocols.
Main Results:
- Detailed description of fat harvesting, processing, and injection techniques.
- Presentation of illustrative patient results for facial and breast augmentation.
- Discussion of potential complications associated with fat grafting.
Conclusions:
- Autologous fat transfer is a viable technique for facial and breast enhancement.
- Careful technique in harvesting, processing, and injection is crucial for success.
- Further research is warranted to standardize protocols and minimize complications.

Fats as Energy Storage Molecules
27.1K
Triglycerides are a form of long-term energy storage molecules. They are made of glycerol and three fatty acids. To obtain energy from fat, triglycerides must first be broken down by hydrolysis into their two principal components, fatty acids and glycerol. This process, called lipolysis, takes place in the cytoplasm. The resulting fatty acids are oxidized by β-oxidation into acetyl-CoA, which is used by the Krebs cycle. The glycerol that is released from triglycerides after lipolysis...

Transfer RNA Synthesis

One of the unique features of tRNA is the presence of modified bases. In some tRNAs, modified bases account for nearly 20% of the total bases in the molecule. Altogether, these unusual bases protect the tRNA from enzymatic degradation by RNases.
Each of these chemical modifications is carried by a specific enzyme, post-transcription. All of these enzymes have unique base and site-specificity. Methylation, the most common chemical modification, is carried by at least nine different enzymes, with...

Mechanism of heat transfer
2.0K
Understanding heat transfer mechanisms is essential for understanding how our bodies maintain balance in different environmental conditions. When the environment is thermoneutral, the body is in a state of balance, neither using nor releasing energy to maintain its core temperature. However, when the environment is not thermoneutral, the body employs four heat transfer mechanisms to maintain homeostasis: conduction, convection, evaporation, and radiation. These mechanisms facilitate heat...

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer I

Just as interesting as the effects of heat transfer on a system are the methods by which the heat transfer occur. Whenever there is a temperature difference, heat transfer occurs. It may occur rapidly, such as through a cooking pan, or slowly, such as through the walls of a picnic ice box. So many processes involve heat transfer that it is hard to imagine a situation where no heat transfer occurs. Yet, every heat transfer takes place by only three methods: conduction, convection, and radiation.

In convection, thermal energy is carried by the large-scale flow of matter. Ocean currents and large-scale atmospheric circulation, which result from the buoyancy of warm air and water, transfer hot air from the tropics toward the poles and cold air from the poles toward the tropics. The Earth’s rotation interacts with those flows, causing the observed eastward flow of air in the temperate zones. Convection dominates heat transfer by air, and the amount of available space for the airflow...

Maximum Power Transfer

Numerous practical applications within engineering disciplines, such as telecommunications, necessitate optimizing power delivery to a connected load. This pursuit, however, entails inherent internal losses, which can either equal or exceed the power supplied to the load. The Thevenin equivalent circuit is helpful in finding the maximum power a linear circuit can deliver to a load. It is assumed in this context that the load resistance can be adjusted.
