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

F Braccini et al. Rev Laryngol Otol Rhinol (Bord). 2013.

Abstract

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.
