There are multiple methods to prepare lipoaspirate for autologous fat transfer; however, graft retention remains unpredictable. The purpose of this study was to compare the cellular and protein composition of adipose grafts and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) resulting from three common techniques to prepare adipose grafts. Adipose grafts were harvested from healthy donors and processed via three techniques: centrifugation (C), a single-filter (SF) device, and a double-filtration (DF) system.

Background: Currently, cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) -assisted lipotransfer have been used to overcome the low survival rate of conventional lipotransfer. However, there is still insufficient evidence to determine which technique is the best strategy for autologous fat grafting in breast cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
Objective: The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of traditional fat transplantation, CAL, and PRP-assisted lipotransfer.

Background: Gluteal fat grafting is a common procedure in liposculpture. This study proposes a Doppler ultrasound-guided intramuscular and subcutaneous gluteal lipotransfer technique that allows for visualization of the location of the gluteal vessels, avoiding approaching them during lipotransfer by having the cannula localized during fat infiltration.
Methods: This new technique was applied to 24 women after obtaining informed consent and providing them with a clear explanation of potential risks and complications.

Background: Autologous fat transplantation, widely used in cosmetic and reparative surgery for volumetric enhancements, faces challenges with its inconsistent long-term survival rates. The technique's efficacy, crucial for its development, is hindered by unpredictable outcomes. Enriching fat grafts with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) shows promise in improving survival efficiency.

Case: We will present the case of a 6-year-old girl who presented with a 3-cm limb length discrepancy after intraosseous line placement at age 14 months without other known history of trauma or infection to account for the growth arrest. Imaging revealed a left proximal tibial physeal bar amenable to surgical resection with autologous lipotransfer. At 10 months postoperatively, physical examination and imaging demonstrated a stable 3-cm leg length discrepancy with an interval increase in the length of the left tibia in proportion to the growth of the right side with an increase in valgus alignment that will continue to be monitored and addressed as indicated.
