Popis: Liposuction fat transfer used to fill facial and body areas is now one of the most fascinating treatments of plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery. Still today it is common to have reports of failures with the traditional technique of harvesting by liposuction, which is why we have refined the technique in each step in order to obtain micrografts of adipose tissue that are of better quality to ensure a good survival of these once grafted into the recipient area. Micrografting implantation in combination with total plasma (TP) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has allowed in our hands to achieve more predictable and permanent results opening a wide range of therapeutic possibilities, ranging from cosmetic to reconstructive procedures. Plasma from the patient is an autologous nontoxic, nonallergenic preparation, easily obtained by centrifugation of blood. Once the platelets are activated and mixed with the collected micrografts, you obtain a gel that is a natural support for the transplanted tissue, favoring the formation of extracellular matrix, collagen fibers, and angiogenesis in an accelerated way. It promotes neovascularization and decreases the reabsorption of the grafted adipose tissue. Enriched adipose micrografting (EAM) is now the ideal material for the restoration of aesthetic or posttraumatic subcutaneous tissue defects of the face and body.
