No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary aim of this project is to standardize the method for lipofilling by identifying the best technique. In this context, the study will investigate the impact of adipose tissue composition and ideal quantity of the injected fat particularly in view of resorption rate. Correlations between adipose tissue composition, amount of transferred fat, already existing subcutaneous fat layer at the grafting site and resorption rate will be made.

The punch biopsy and the non-invasive Lipometer measurements to determine the subcutaneous fat layer thickness in the harvesting and grafting region will be performed in 10 female subjects that undergo elective lipofilling.

The study was registered on Clinicaltrials.gov after start of recruitment.
