The Effect of Lipoaspirates on Human Keratinocytes.
[BACKGROUND] One increasingly important trend in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery is the use of fat grafts to improve cutaneous wound healing. In clinical practice, lipoaspirates (adipose tissue harvested by liposuction) are r…

[Current Perceptions of Lipofilling on the Basis of the New Guideline on "Autologous Fat Grafting"].
Autologous fat transfer has recently become an increasingly popular surgical procedure and comprises harvesting, processing and transplantation of adipose tissue, as well as professional follow-up care. This method, as a surgical procedure,…

Cell-Enriched Lipoaspirate Arthroplasty: A Novel Approach to First Carpometacarpal Joint Arthritis.
We report a novel, minimal invasive technique for the treatment of symptomatic arthritis of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint of the thumb, here termed Cell-Enriched Liposaspirate Arthroplasty (CELA). For CELA, autologous fat tissue was harve…

Intraoperative use of enriched collagen and elastin matrices with freshly isolated adipose-derived stem/stromal cells: a potential clinical approach for soft tissue reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Adipose tissue contains a large number of multipotent cells, which are essential for stem cell-based therapies. The combination of this therapy with suitable commercial clinically used matrices, such as collagen and elastin mat…

Autologous fat grafting: in search of the optimal technique.
[OBJECTIVE] Recent advances in adipose cellular biology have repopularized autologous fat grafting as a method widely used in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. This review aims to summarize our current knowledge on autologous fat g…

The lipo-facelift: merging the face-lift and liposculpture: eight years experience and a preliminary observational study.
[BACKGROUND] Since the introduction of the classic submucosal aponeurotic system (SMAS) face-lift, the surgical approach to improve the changes of an aging face has evolved, and significant technical improvements have been made. However, se…

Bacterial infection as a likely cause of adverse reactions to polyacrylamide hydrogel fillers in cosmetic surgery.
[BACKGROUND] The etiology of long-lasting adverse reactions to gel fillers used in cosmetic surgery is not known. Bacterial infection and immunological reaction to the product have been suggested. [METHODS] We performed a case-control stud…

[Liposuction].
Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed procedures in aesthetic surgery. The primary aim is body contouring and not weight reduction. The vast amount of available methods for suctioning subcutaneous fat allows an optimal individua…

Aesthetically pleasant umbilicoplasty.
The umbilicus is an important aesthetic feature of the abdomen and thus calls for an optimized reinsertation technique. Localization and characteristics of the umbilicus were assessed in 137 adults. In addition, age, height, weight, pregnan…

Bioelectric impedance analysis and quality of life after body-contouring procedures in plastic surgery.
[BACKGROUND] This study dealt with the assessment of two body-contouring patient groups, the first having undergone abdominoplasty and the second liposuction. The focus of inquiry was the change in body mass index (BMI) values and the corre…

Effect of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases and matrix metalloproteinases on capsular formation around smooth and textured silicone gel implants.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is one of the most distressing complications after cosmetic breast augmentation. Evidence suggests that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) may play a key ro…

[Postbariatric plastic surgery].
Approximately 1.7 billion people around the world are defined as being overweight or obese. Various surgical options to treat obesity have quite recently been developed. Following efficient and lasting weight loss, up to one-third of the pa…

The arterial vascularisation of the abdominal wall with special regard to the umbilicus.
[AIM] In order to prevent wound healing problems around the transposed umbilicus following abdominoplasty, we investigated the arterial vascularisation of the abdominal wall with special regard to the umbilicus. The aim was to optimise the …

Matrix metalloproteinases, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, aminoterminal propeptide of procollagen type III, and hyaluronan in sera and tissue of patients with capsular contracture after augmentation with Trilucent breast implants.
In various fibrotic diseases, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), play an important role. In our study, serum concentrations of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and…
