Abstract
TAMAYO CARBON, Alicia María; BENCOSME ESCARRAMAN, Yiraldi Yanet and MEDINA ROBAINAS, Rolando Ernesto. SURVIVAL OF THE FATTY GRAFT. PROGNOSTIC FACTORS. Rev Cient Cienc Méd [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.2, pp.231-239. ISSN 1817-7433.
Using the patient's own fat as the material of choice to restore volumes has led to the description of different ways of obtaining it; with or without infiltration of the donor area, different negative suction pressures; different types of processing (washing, filtering, decanting or centrifuging) and various ways of implanting it according to the plane used, the thickness of the deposits, their separation from each other, with very different results. To increase the volume of a region, it is enough to obtain fat and place it in the desired site, a part of the graft will always survive and there will always be its own stem cell directing the regenerative process. But how to make all the transplanted tissue survive? The diversity of still debatable criteria, together with the lack of objective non-invasive methods to assess adipocyte survival, lead to the need to establish the predictive variables for lipograft survival.
