Scaffold-assisted Breast Augmentation: Approaching New Horizon by Three-Dimensionally Printed Personalized Tissue Regenerative Implants.

Current breast augmentation options face limitations and potential associated complications. Implant-based augmentation introduces risks such as capsular contracture and malpositioning, whereas fat grafting poses issues such as induration and infections, necessitating revisions. Tissue engineering, integrating 3-dimensional (3D) printing and biomaterials science, aims to overcome these challenges.

Patient Satisfaction during Upper Lip Augmentation Procedures: V-Y in V-Y Technique Compared to Micro-fat Injection: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Aim: To compare two different techniques for lip augmentation: A surgical technique (V-Y in V-Y) and a filler technique (autogenous micro-fat injections), with a focus on comparing the patients' satisfaction using the Visual analog scale (VAS).

Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 40 female patients, aged 18-45, who were outpatients at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department. The patients were randomly assigned with a 1:1 allocation ratio into two groups.

Ophthalmic complications of injectable facial fillers.

The recently published mini-review article by Miotti is an effort to clarify various aspects regarding the choice between fat grafts and fillers in facial aesthetic surgery. One of the complications associated with the administration of fillers is the possibility of vascular injury and spread of the dermal filler into the orbit, causing unexpected effects at a site distant from that of the initial injection, including ophthalmoplegia, ptosis and even visual compromise. Acute vision loss following filler injection is a devastating complication, occurring in up to 0.

ROLE OF AUTOLOGOUS NANOFAT GRAFTING IN THE TREATMENT OF POST ACNE AND POST BURN SCARRING OF THE FACE.

Background: Post acne and post burn facial scarring are more common in young generation leading to disfigurement and unpleasing result. These scars have major aesthetic, functional, and social effects on the affected person. Aim of the study was to establish the role of Autologous Nanofat grafting in treating post acne & post burn facial scarring in terms of pleasing aesthetic appearance of face & patient satisfaction.

Role of mesenchymal cells in enhancing cosmetic outcomes for autologous augmented fat transfers for facial rejuvenation and reconstructive surgery.

In recent years, autologous fat transfer (AFT) has gained popularity for reconstructive and cosmetic procedures due to its minimally invasive nature and natural-looking results. However, limitations such as unpredictable fat resorption and safety concerns persist. To address these issues, researchers have explored incorporating adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) into fat grafts.

Evaluation of autologous fat grafting in the treatment of juvenile localized scleroderma with facial involvement.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of autologous fat grafting in patients with juvenile localized scleroderma with facial involvement.

Methods: We retrospectively studied patients with juvenile localized scleroderma who were followed at the Hamburg Center for Pediatric and Adolescent Rheumatology at least 6 months post-operative follow-up and received at least one autologous fat transplantation for a facial lesion. Autologous fat grafting was conducted independent of disease-modifying treatment and/or disease activity.

Bibliometric Analysis of Hot Trends and Future Prospects in Clinical Fat Research from 2014 to 2023.

Background: Significant advancements have been made in the field of clinically relevant fat research over the past decade. A systematic analysis of publications in this domain is essential. This study aims to identify research hotspots and evolving trends in clinically relevant adipose tissue research through bibliometric analysis.

Facial Rejuvenation Strategy in Asian Women with Autologous Fat Transplantation.

Objective: To explore the clinical strategy of autologous fat transplantation in facial rejuvenation.

Methods: From September 2016 to May 2023, 2715 female patients with facial filling by autologous fat were retrospectively analysed. After treatment, they were followed up for 3-6 months to summarize the relationship between aesthetic design and treatment outcomes.

Nasolabial Transfer Flap with Auricular Cartilage Graft after Fat Grafting for Nasal Ala Reconstruction in Parry-Romberg Syndrome.

Background: Alar atrophy associated with Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) can lead to significant nasal contour deformities. The primary objective of this study was to address nasal alar deformities in PRS patients through the application of a nasolabial transfer flap combined with an auricular cartilage graft after sequential fat grafting.

Methods: All PRS patients with alar deformities who underwent our reconstructive surgery were included in this case series.

Characterising healthy Australian oral microbiomes for 'super donor' selection.

Objectives: Among healthy people, we understand very little about the sociodemographic, lifestyle, and dental hygiene behaviours that shape their oral microbiota. This study investigates how sociodemographic, lifestyle and dental hygiene behaviours shape oral microbiota diversity and composition in an Australian population to better inform healthy oral microbiota donors for Oral Microbiota Transplantation (OMT).

Methods: The study comprised 93 healthy adults who underwent comprehensive oral examinations and questionnaires to assess their health status.

The evolution of a large-scale facial gender affirmation program: A comparative outcomes analysis.

Background: The volume of facial feminization surgery (FFS) performed has increased tremendously over the last decade as new gender affirmation programs have formed. Advancements in surgical planning and treatment protocols have resulted in complex, multiprocedural FFS operations. This study examines the characteristics and outcomes of a large-scale FFS program over a 5-year lifespan.

Outcomes of Fat Grafting in the Active Versus Quiescent Phase of Localized Scleroderma.

Progressive hemifacial atrophy (PHA) and linear scleroderma (LS) are both rare conditions and defined by atrophy and/or sclerosis of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The ideal timing of reconstructive intervention in these patients is controversial. We compared the outcome and satisfaction of autologous lipofilling performed during active and stable phases of the diseases in adults.

Microliposuction and Radiofrequency Combined With Fat Grating as a New Method for Hybrid-Type Nasolabial Folds.

Backgrounds: The hybrid-type nasolabial fold is a special, complex type of nasolabial fold with various causes, making it difficult to obtain an ideal effect with a single treatment.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect and complications of a comprehensive therapy combining microliposuction, radiofrequency, and fat grafting on hybrid-type nasolabial folds.

Results: Twenty-one patients aged 27 to 45 (mean: 34.

Enhanced Transconjunctival Lower Blepharoplasty: A Novel Method for Intraorbital Fat Transposition and Stabilization.

Background: The evolution of lower blepharoplasty has shifted from simply removing of orbital septum fat to smoothing of the lid-cheek junction through fat repositioning. This paper adopts a novel technique to transpose and stabilize intraorbital fat during transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty. The tear trough and nasal alar base were filled to correct the pouch while ensuring the blood supply of the fat flap.

Fat Grafting and Adipose Stem Cells for Facial Systemic Sclerosis: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Background: Orofacial modifications occurring in systemic sclerosis are detrimental for patients, but the therapeutic options are limited.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to perform an up-to-date appraisal of the literature focusing on fat grafting and other adipose stem cell-based therapies for the treatment of facial systemic sclerosis, determining its efficacy and safety, and investigating the current practice for treatment optimization.

Methods: The review was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021286268) and followed the PRISMA principles.
