Lipofilling is a popular technique to treat volume loss in aging patients. The isolated adipose tissue is composed of adipocytes and stromal vascular fraction cells, which include adipose-derived stem cells (ASC). We hypothesize that the patient’s wrinkle severity scale (WSS) and patient’s satisfaction on the global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) can be improved after using concentrated lipoaspirate. Fourteen patients (54 years ± 11.09 years) with volume loss in the midface area underwent waterjet-assisted liposuction (Human Med AG, Schwerin, Germany). Fat was centrifuged in an ACP Double Syringe (Arthrex GmbH, Munich, Germany) using Rotofix 32A centrifuge (Andreas Hettich, GmbH & Co.KG, Tuttlingen, Germany). Homogenization was performed using the double syringe and a 1.4 mm female–female luerlock connector. After a second centrifugation, patients received periorbital (PO) and nasolabial (NL) lipografting. ASC count was performed after enzymatical digestion. Vitality of cells was assessed using a resazurin assay. During long-term follow up (12 months, n = 10), we found a high patient’s satisfaction (GAIS 1+/−0.52) and a good improvement of the WSS during short- and long-term follow-up. The ASC count of processed lipoaspirate was 2.1-fold higher than of unprocessed lipoaspirate (p < 0.001). The difference of ASC in sedimented and simply centrifuged lipoaspirate was also significant (p < 0.05). Facial rejuvenation with concentrated fat graft offers good results concerning objective aesthetic outcome and patient’s satisfaction.

Abstract Background Full thickness burns of the chest in childhood are a devastating problem that requires challenging reconstructive options. Integra is a bilaminate artificial dermis composed of shark chondroitin 6-sulfate and bovine collagen. The dermal matrix serves as a scaffold for fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Vascularization of the matrix begins after 2–3 weeks, and eventually, the matrix incorporates with the tissue to create a new dermis. The main advantage of the Integra is that the neodermis is of the same quality as a native dermis. Case presentation In this case report, we present post-burn breast reconstruction of a 12-year-old girl using Integra, with a long follow-up of 7 years. To the best of our knowledge, there is no published follow-up of breast development after reconstruction with Integra from its beginning point at the age of puberty until after the growing process has terminated. Conclusions Integra is a reliable reconstructive tool for burned breast. If done before puberty, it can help in getting normal developing tissue with satisfying esthetic results of size, shape and symmetry.
