Introduction:
facial deformities are a set of residual volumetric alterations of genetic malformations, traumas and postoncologic scars considered as a devastating disease. Their reconstruction is a challenge for the plastic surgery specialist due to the complexity of facial aesthetics in which a set of structures that guarantee the psychosocial integrity of the patient and his validism are harmonized. Lipotransfer is presented as a treatment alternative, which has evolved with the purpose of adjusting to the needs of usefulness and feasibility.
Objective:
to analyze the scientific-social impact of lipotransfer in the treatment of facial deformities as an example of scientific progress in Plastic Surgery in Villa Clara Province.
Method:
the medical literature published in Spanish and English languages was reviewed, Google Scholar and PubMed search engines were used, SciELO and Oxford digital libraries and Medline database were consulted and appropriate key words were used.
Conclusions:
lipotransfer with platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of facial deformities constitutes a viable, safe, economical treatment alternative with satisfactory results that satisfies the patient and restores the anatomical and functional integrity of the damaged structures, which allows its validation and is an example of scientific progress in plastic surgery in the province.
