FAT GRAFTING FOR AESTHETIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Artigo de Pesquisa
Introduction: One of the biggest reasons for an aging face is the loss of facial volume in both the bony and soft tissues. Fat grafting has become popular, and many investigators confirmed the utility of fat grafting for facial rejuvenation. Fat grafting is thought to be an ideal method for facial rejuvenation because it is effective not only for volume augmentation, but also for improving skin quality. Objective: The objective of this article is to present a literature review of 27 studies published in the last 10 years (2013-2023), performed following previously determined inclusion and...

Introduction: Orthognathic surgery consists of performing osteotomy of the maxilla and/or mandible with the aim of harmoniously positioning the facial thirds. The treatment of facial deformity can be combined with other aesthetic procedures, carried out concomitantly or at different operative times. Rhinoplasty can refine the aesthetic result of orthognathic surgery, improving the level of patient satisfaction. Objective: To perform an integrative review addressing the indications, possible...
Read MoreIntroduction: Lobuloplasty alone or associated with otoplasty is among the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures on the face. Despite being a small appendage of approximately 2.0 cm with no function in the physiology of the external ear, it plays an important aesthetic role in the harmony of the face, motivating children, adults, men and women to seek surgeons qualified to work in the area to correct defects and improves aesthetics. Objective: The objective of this study was to...
Read MoreIntroduction: With the increasing number of rhinoplasties performed, an increase in complications related to the procedure is also expected. Although skin and/or mucosal necrosis are rare complications, they are feared due to its strong negative aesthetic and psychological impact on patients. Therefore, the search for solutions has been incessant, and the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and/or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) have shown themselves to be a promising answer. Objective: This article...

Read MoreIntroduction: Rhinoplasty demands intense knowledge about the reconstruction of the osteocartilaginous structure. Depending on the thickness of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, the results after rhinoplasty may be more evident, with retractions and demarcations of the underlying structures, leading to an unaesthetic result. Objective: The present study aims to describe the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) technique and the application options for the material in rhinoplasty, according to evidence...
