Evaluation of the Effect of Autologous Fat and SVF Transplantation in Promoting Mechanical-stretch Induced in Vivo Skin Regeneration

Scar Clinical Trial

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluating whether autologous grafted fat transplantation or SVF transplantation is safe and/or effective to accelerating skin regeneration and soft tissue expansion.

Clinical Trial Description

Reconstruction of large scale skin defect is a challenge to clinical surgeons. Soft tissue expansion has won wide attention in recent years as it promotes skin regeneration with perfectly matched tissue. However, some patients with poor skin regenerative ability would suffer from skin flap over-thinned and even necrosis under the continuous stretching by silicone expander. This study is to evaluate the effects of autologous fat graft/SVF transplantation on accelerating skin regeneration and promoting tissue expansion process.

Patients aged between 18 to 60 years old who appear with deteriorated expanded skin will be enrolled and randomized into three groups, named as the experimental group and the control group. Patients from the FAT-GRAFT group will have a liposuction and subdermal fat graft transplantation. Patients from the SVF-TRANSPLANTATION group will have a liposuction and SVF will be separated and transplanted intradermally to expanded skin. Patients from the control group will have saline injection. ;
