Objective: To discuss the integrated autologous fat graft technique in face recontouring.
Methods: In this study we treated 83 cases of face recontouring with 3L3M technique (low pressure suction, low speed centrifugation, low volume, multi-plane, multi-tunnel, multi-point injection). Each case was treated 1-3 times and the interval period is 3-6 months. The result was based on comparing the photos taken from pre-operation and post operation, observing the expression recovery, cysts, local absorption, and patients self evaluation.
Results: Long time follow up showed that fat graft can be alive in the recipient site for long time after 1-3 times autologous fat injection. More than 73.5% patients were satisfactory with the curative effect while less than 4.8% patients were unsatisfactory.
Conclusion: 3L3M integrated fat graft technique is an effective and safe treatment in face recontouring.

Background: Autologous fat grafting (AFG) often needs multiple sessions due to low volume retention. Young adipose tissue demonstrates a more pronounced therapeutic effect; thus, the cryopreservation of adipose tissue of young origin is particularly crucial. This study investigated the protective effect of a new cryopreservation solution combining trehalose, glycerol, and metformin on adipose tissue.

Objective: A simple and minimally invasive combined procedure, including transconjunctival orbital fat removal and transcutaneous resected orbital fat injection, was performed based on the anatomical characteristics of the lower eyelids in our young Chinese patients. Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of this procedure in our study population.
Methods: In our retrospective study, a total of 183 consecutive patients underwent a combination of traditional transconjunctival blepharoplasty and nanofat grafting between February 2020 and June 2024.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) remains a significant challenge after heart transplantation, necessitating effective surveillance methods. This review centers around the role of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in CAV surveillance, given its unique capabilities to visualize and quantify CAV in comparison with other imaging modalities, including invasive coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound. CCTA has shown good diagnostic performance for detecting and monitoring CAV, exemplified by a higher sensitivity and negative predictive value compared with invasive coronary angiography.

Adherent perinephric fat (APF) can complicate HALDN, increasing operative time. The Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score predicts APF preoperatively.
