Abstract
JARRAH, A.; PALOMA, V. and VERNETTA, O.. Use of lipofilling enriched with PRP In breast reconstruction. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.39, suppl.1, pp.s65-s73. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922013000500015.
We present a series of patients submitted to reconstruction with fat infiltration (lipofilling) enriched with platelet rich plasma (PRP) as a single procedure or as a precursor to breast implant. The aim of this paper is to present an alternative to breast reconstruction with pedicled or free flaps in breast undergoing radiotherapy; also, a detailed review of the steps to perform this procedure, ranging from drawing blood for later obtaining PRP, to lipofilling technique enriched with these factors in the operated breast. With this enrichment technique we have better and more permanent results. Assessing postoperative patients undergoing this procedure, we have observed that it takes 2-3 lipofilling times to get good coverage and improvement in skin quality as a precursor to implant placement.
