Adipose Tissue Clinical Trial
Official title:
Structural Fat Grafting for Craniofacial Trauma
Injuries resulting in facial trauma are common, and can have devastating consequences on
your quality of life. While the facial bones can often be reconstructed, physicians strive
to find better ways to accurately restore injured facial features.
In this clinical trial funded by the Department of Defense, the investigators are evaluating
how effectively fat grafting can restore facial features, and how the filling effect of the
fat graft lasts over time in participants with visible facial injuries. All procedures for
this research study will be performed at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate how well the filling effect of the fat remains
over time. A person's own fat may be used to improve the appearance of the body by moving it
from an area where it is less needed. This is called fat grafting, and it is a common
procedure, performed approximately 65,000 times by plastic surgeons in the United State last
year. The fat is usually taken from the thighs or abdomen with a small liposuction tube and
then moved to an area that has lost volume or fullness due to aging, trauma, surgery, birth
defects, or other causes. Typically, the transferred fat results in an increase in volume of
the body site being treated.
Fat grafting is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a person's own fat may be
used to improve the appearance of the body by moving it from an area where it is less
needed. The fat is usually taken from the thighs or abdomen with a small liposuction tube
and then moved to an area that has lost shape or fullness due to injury. This procedure is
performed through very small incisions that allow a hollow tube to pass through.
Fat grafting is a common cosmetic and reconstructive procedure. It was performed
approximately 65,000 times by plastic surgeons in the United States last year. Typically,
the transferred fat results in an increase in volume and shape of the body site being
treated. The investigators believe this clinical technique of fat grafting could be of
significant benefit to patients with facial injuries. The fat grafting procedure being
performed in this trial is considered to be research, but not an experimental procedure.
