Regen Ther 2023; 24:332-342. [PMID: 37662694 PMCID: PMC10474569 DOI: 10.1016/j.reth.2023.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) has been widely explored in a number of therapeutic applications in several specialties. Its therapeutic potential is being increasingly demonstrated, although its mechanism of action is still unclear. Objective To evaluate the quality of studies reporting on clinical applications of SVF. Method This is a systematic literature review that followed the PRISMA guidelines with the search of the studies from December 1, 2012, to December 1, 2022, in the following databases: MEDLINE, LILACS and EMBASE. The level of evidence of the studies was assessed using the GRADE system, and the rigor used in the publication of the results was assessed in relation to adherence to the guidelines indicated by the EQUATOR Network Group. The CLINIC - STRA-SVF reporting guideline was developed after the completion of this systematic review. Results A total of 538 articles were found, and 77 articles were selected after reading the titles and abstracts and removing duplicates. Then, 15 studies were removed for not meeting the inclusion criteria, leaving 62 studies. The CLINIC - STRA-SVF was developed and consists of 33 items and two tables. Conclusion There is scientific evidence, although mostly with a low level of evidence, that the use of SVF in clinical applications is safe and effective. The information published in these studies should be standardized, and the CLINIC - STRA-SVF reporting guideline proposed in this study may assist in the design, conduct, recording and reporting of clinical trials and others clinical studies involving the SVF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nasal contracture after rhinoplasty is one of the most severe complications in East Asian patients. The classification and treatment algorithm of nasal contracture have not yet been established. This study aimed to develop a new classification system and treatment algorithm of contracted noses in East Asian patients to improve treatment outcomes. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted with 62 patients with nasal contracture who underwent a revision rhinoplasty between March 2017 and March 2021. The authors classified the 62 patients into 3 groups based on the classification system. All patients underwent rhinoplasty designed according to the corresponding classification. The patients were followed up after surgery, and the rhinoplasty outcomes evaluation (ROE) was used to evaluate their satisfaction rate. RESULTS A total of 59 female patients and 3 male patients (mean age, 29.45 ± 7.73 years) were included in this study. Forty-five cases presented mild nasal contracture (72.58%), 11 presented moderate nasal contracture (17.74%), and 6 presented severe nasal contracture (9.68%). There were statistically significant differences in the number of prior rhinoplasty procedures, infection history, and preoperative ROE scores among the three groups, with no differences in sex ratio, age, kinds of initial implant materials, and postoperative ROE scores. Almost all patients achieved satisfactory outcomes after the revision surgery designed by different classifications. CONCLUSION The authors have established a new classification system and treatment algorithm for contracted noses based on the change in pathological anatomy of nose, which is effective for guiding the treatment of contracted noses with good results.

Abstract
Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic surgeries worldwide and often includes grafting techniques to achieve optimal results. One of these grafting techniques is autologous fat transfer, which has been used to increase volume, camouflage irregularities, and/or improve the quality of the nasal skin-soft tissue envelope. Moreover, minimally invasive approaches for altering the nasal appearance have recently increased and become known as "liquid" or "nonsurgical rhinoplasty." These nonsurgical approaches include altering the nasal appearance with filler injection to induce volumetric changes in lieu of extensive surgery. The use of fat grafting as a filler is favorable to achieve well-balanced aesthetic results without compromising the nasal skin-soft tissue envelope. This capability is partly because of the regenerative potential of fat grafts, serving to improve the quality of surrounding soft tissues. In contrast, commercial injectable fillers are inert. This article highlights the role of fat grafting in surgical and nonsurgical rhinoplasty to provide surgeons with an overview of the potential of these vastly abundant, biocompatible, and cost-effective grafts.

Aesthetic Plast Surg 2023; 47:282-291. [PMID: 35606536 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-022-02920-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A severely contracted nose is a common occurrence. Intraoperative expansion is not sufficient to soften the severely constricted nasal envelope, which poses challenges in revision rhinoplasty. In recent years, adjuvant therapies, including nasal fat grafting and cell component injection, are applied before revision rhinoplasty to soften the nasal envelope. Herein, autologous shuffling lipo-aspirated fat and manual mechanical stretch were combined as adjuvant therapy before revision rhinoplasty. METHODS A total of 24 patients with severe nasal contracture were included in this study. Of these, 8 received autologous shuffling lipo-aspirated fat and manual mechanical stretch before revision rhinoplasty (comprehensive therapy), 8 underwent mechanical stretch and revision rhinoplasty, and 8 patients underwent only revision rhinoplasty. The objective and subjective outcome assessment was processed in the follow-up period of 6 months. Nasal length, nasal tip projection, nasofrontal angle, and nasolabial angle were measured, and potential complications were assessed. RESULTS All 24 patients underwent a successful revision rhinoplasty. In the comprehensive therapy group, no patient had postoperative wound infection and defect of the nasal column mucous. The comprehensive treatment group had the most significant improvement in nasal length and nasal tip projection, and the nasolabial angle was the closest to 90°, which indicated the most effective nasal revision and aesthetic contour. CONCLUSIONS The adjuvant therapy combines autologous shuffling lipo-aspirated fat and manual mechanical stretch before revision rhinoplasty could effectively improve the surgical outcome and decrease the postoperative complications regarding severe nasal contractures.
