Perforation of Abdominal Viscera Following Liposuction: A Systemic Literature Review

Rare complication of coupled VASER liposuction and Renuvion technologies: a case report

This study presents the case of a women, who underwent VASER-assisted liposuction of the abdomen coupled with Renuvion skin tightening by J-Plasma for skin retraction. She developed pain and moderate surgical emphysema. Radiological findings showed moderate subcutaneous emphysema. There were no signs of viscus perforation, or pneumothorax.

Adipose Tissue-Derived Components: From Cells to Tissue Glue to Treat Dermal Damage

In recent decades, adipose tissue transplantation has become an essential treatment modality for tissue (volume) restoration and regeneration. The regenerative application of adipose tissue has only recently proven its usefulness; for example, the method is useful in reducing dermal scarring and accelerating skin-wound healing. The therapeutic effect is ascribed to the tissue stromal vascular fraction (tSVF) in adipose tissue. This consists of stromal cells, the trophic factors they secrete and the extracellular matrix (ECM), which have immune-modulating, pro-angiogenic and anti-fibrotic properties. This concise review focused on dermal regeneration using the following adipose-tissue components: adipose-tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs), their secreted trophic factors (ASCs secretome), and the ECM. The opportunities of using a therapeutically functional scaffold, composed of a decellularized ECM hydrogel loaded with trophic factors of ASCs, to enhance wound healing are explored as well. An ECM-based hydrogel loaded with trophic factors combines all regenerative components of adipose tissue, while averting the possible disadvantages of the therapeutic use of adipose tissue, e.g., the necessity of liposuction procedures with a (small) risk of complications, the impossibility of interpatient use, and the limited storage options.
