Modern lipostructure: the use of platelet rich fibrin (PRF).

OBJECTIVES

To evaluate the interest of growth factors adjonction during lipostructure.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Between May 2005 and June 2012, 232 patients benefited from this modern approach of lipostructure with concentrate of platelets. The technique evolves on the simplification way.

RESULTS

All the patients were satisfied with the result with minimal associated resorptions. No massive resorption requiring a resumption of lipostructure was noted.

CONCLUSION

By offering a matricial support to angiogenesis and by stimulating the proliferation of pre-adipocytes, the PRF could have a beneficial role on the cicatrization and the consolidation of an adipocyte graft.
