NORIEGA-RODRIGUEZ, Daniel; ARAZOZA-BORGES, Diana de y GONZALEZ-GARCIA, Sergio. Autologous fat grafting with lipofiltration in the nasolabial fold. Arch méd Camagüey [online]. 2023, vol.27 Epub 25-Abr-2023. ISSN 1025-0255.
Introduction:
The deepening of the nasolabial folds is one of the earliest signs of natural aging in humans and can be mitigated with the use of filler materials, including autologous fat grafting.
Objective:
To describe the results of autologous fat infiltration in the nasolabial fold for facial rejuvenation.
Methods:
An observational, descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study to describe the infiltration of autologous fat in the nasolabial fold for facial rejuvenation was carried out in 40 patients. The patients were followed up for 6 months: one month (1M), three months (3M) and six months (6M) and the evaluated variables were: recovery time, appearance of complications, degree of patient satisfaction and aesthetic results.
Results:
The average age was 47 years, with a female prevalence. 92% of patients recovered in less than 10 days, with the only appearance of six complications. The decrease in the defect after the procedure was significant compared to the initial moment; however, over time (3-6M) the defect in the nasolabial fold reappeared in some patients. The degree of patient satisfaction varied between 95% (1M) to 90% at 6M and the aesthetic results classified as good decreased from 90% (1M) to 65% (6M).
Conclusions:
It was shown that autologous fat grafting in the nasolabial fold is a procedure with good aesthetic results, however it decreases in subsequent months, which may be related to the reabsorption of the fat graft.
