Abstract

Introduction: Autologous fat grafting is an aesthetic and reconstructive procedure in which an individual’s own fat is harvested and injected into the soft tissues to correct contour and other abnormalities. Fat graft is considered the ideal soft tissue filler for its biocompatibility, lack of immunogenicity and availability. Materials and Methods: There were two groups and the first 25 patients were assigned to system-AF and the subsequent 25 patients were assigned to processing via system-PF. The operating surgeons and operating room staff were adequately trained before the procedure. Tumescence solution was used with either technique based on the surgeon’s standard practice with a limit of 1 litre. Means and standard deviations were used to abstract the continuous patient characteristics. Frequencies and proportions were used to present categorical patient characteristics.
