Surgery of the Palatomaxillary Structure
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 071-076 DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1709430The palatomaxillary structure plays critical roles in both form and function of the midface. Surgical defects of the palate and maxilla can be associated with significant morbidity and deformity. Various defect classification systems have been used to assist in reconstruction and rehabilitation. Reconstructive options include prosthetic rehabilitation, local flaps, and free tissue transfer. Here, we review the functional and surgical anatomy of the palatomaxillary complex, defect classification systems, and provide an overview of reconstructive option...

Safety and Regulation of Fat Grafting
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 059-064 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3401037Today, fat grafting has wide applicability across plastic surgery disciplines, including both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. However, much controversy has surrounded adipose tissue transfer throughout the 20th century, necessitating extensive research to improve the fat grafting process and to better understand its associated complications and benefits. Initial concerns included the technical difficulties of properly handling and processing adipose to ensure adequate outcomes. As these issues were addressed, more modern concerns were raised ...

Applications of Fat Grafting in Pediatric Patients
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 053-058 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3402517Autologous fat grafting has become a widely utilized technique for a variety of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Its potential for volume restoration and tissue regeneration has made it a popular method for treating soft tissue defects in both adult and pediatric populations. While autologous fat grafting in the pediatric setting is not as well characterized as it is in the adult setting, various reports have demonstrated the safety and utility of its applications in nonadult patient populations. In this article, we present the first comprehens...

Fat Grafting for Hand Rejuvenation
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 047-052 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1700960The hands are one of the most visible parts of the body, and prominent dorsal veins and extensor tendons are the most readily recognized signs of the aging process. Fat grafting has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective method of hand rejuvenation by restoration of subcutaneous fat. Despite some variability in the technical approach, fat grafting techniques are consistent in their use of low-pressure injection with standard cannula sizes, small aliquots of graft, and a total volume of graft greater than or equal to 15 mL per hand. While distr...

The Role of Fat Grafting in Buttock Augmentation
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 038-046 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3401038Autologous fat grafting is now considered the gold standard for buttock augmentation. Although a variety of techniques are currently being used by surgeons around the world, methods of fat grafting to the buttocks remain unsystematized, poorly understood, and controversial in terms of their safety and efficacy. Nonetheless, buttock augmentation by fat grafting has a satisfaction rate of 97.1%, and its mean complication rate has been estimated to be around 7 to 10%, with serious complications occurring in less than 1% of cases. Fat emboli are one such ...

Fat Grafting for Facial Rejuvenation
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 030-037 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3402767For optimal results, facial rejuvenation procedures should address both the tissue laxity and volume deflation associated with facial aging. The lift-and-fill face lift, in which fat grafting provides volumetric rejuvenation to the face while surgical lift effectively repositions and removes ptotic and redundant tissue, has revolutionized the plastic surgeon's approach to the aged face. An understanding of the intricate anatomy of distinct facial fat compartments and a systematic method to assess areas of fat atrophy and volume depletion are keys to p...

Application of Fat Grafting in Cosmetic Breast Surgery
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 024-029 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1700958The role of fat grafting to the breasts has evolved in the recent past, gaining several new applications within both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Initially used for reconstructive purposes to fill lumpectomy defects or to correct residual contour deformities after breast reconstruction, it has since made its way into cosmetic breast surgery and has grown to encompass a wide variety of new indications. Fat grafting in aesthetic breast surgery may be performed as a form of primary autologous breast augmentation or as an adjunct to implant-based...

Fat Grafting in Breast Reconstruction
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 017-023 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1700959The past two decades have witnessed a growing application of autologous fat grafting in the setting of breast reconstruction after surgical treatment of breast cancer. While traditionally used to correct contour deformities during secondary revisions, fat grafting has since evolved to achieve desired breast shape and size both as a complementary adjunct to established reconstructive techniques as well as a standalone technique for whole breast reconstruction. In this article, we will review fat grafting as an adjunct to autologous and implant-breast b...

Fat Processing Techniques
This article will focus on the most common methods of fat graft processing, including centrifugation, cotton gauze rolling, sedimentation, and filtration/washing. The fragility of the harvested adipocytes makes the technique of fat graft processing of utmost importance, as blood and other unnecessary cellular fragments are removed. Each fat graft processing method has its own merits and shortcomings; however, due to a lack of well-defined prospective studies, there is no evidence to support one processing method as superior to another.

The Science of Fat Grafting
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2020; 34: 005-010 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3402073Autologous fat grafting has become a popular and well-established technique used by plastic surgeons in a variety of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. An understanding of the basic science principles underlying fat grafting is crucial to explaining its extensive utility for soft tissue rejuvenation, volume augmentation, and body contouring—and the unpredictable fat resorption rates after grafting that pose a significant challenge for plastic surgeons. While the scientific principles of fat grafting can theoretically be exploited to optimize f...
