A new GRAFT Score system standardizes intramuscular fat grafting, classifying muscles by risk to improve safety and outcomes. This approach aids surgeons in decision-making, reducing complications and enhancing patient results in fat grafting procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Intramuscular fat grafting techniques exhibit variability and risk of complications.
  • A standardized approach is needed for safer and more effective fat grafting.
  • The GRAFT Score system is introduced to guide surgeons in this procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and introduce a novel scoring system for intramuscular fat grafting.
  • To standardize the technique and reduce complications associated with fat grafting.
  • To provide a user-friendly method for classifying muscles based on risk.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 651 patients (1,284 muscle groups) undergoing fat grafting with High-Definition Liposuction (HDL).

  • Development of the GRAFT Scoring system through inter-rater agreement.
  • Creation of a postoperative evaluation protocol using ultrasound imaging.

    • Main Results:

    • Muscles were categorized into Low, Moderate, High, and Prohibited risk groups.
    • Analysis included patient demographics (age, BMI) and complication rates.
    • A postoperative evaluation protocol was established based on complications and aesthetic outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The GRAFT Score offers a structured, user-friendly method for classifying muscles in fat grafting.
    • The system enhances surgical decision-making, reduces complications, and improves patient outcomes.
    • A standardized postoperative evaluation protocol is proposed for future research.
