SERRA RENOM, J.M.; MUNOZ DEL OLMO, J.L.  and  GONZALO CABALLERO, C.. Use of fat grafts enriched with platelet growth factors for facial lipofiling in ritidectomy. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2006, vol.32, n.3, pp.191-197. ISSN 1989-2055.

We present a serie of patients with facial fat infiltration enriched with platelet-derived growth factors, some of them associated to other surgical procedures (temporal lifting, cervico-frontal lifting, etc.) We explain how to use this platelet - rich plasma to fill the tear - through and as a facial mesotherapy. Our purpose is to present a detailled review of our method: since blood extraction to the last obtention of the platelet - derived growth factors and the use of this plasma combined with fat infiltration in the facial area. With this methodology we have got better and more permanent results. We have evaluated 90-95 % fat grafts survival in malar region. In other facial areas such as lips or nasogenian folds (big movement areas), we only report about 50 to 60% fat graft survival.

Keywords : Facial fat grafts; Platelet -rich plasma; Platelet -derived growth factors.
