A Single Center, Randomized Study to Evaluate Skin Characteristics After Facial Autologous Fat Grafting to Both Sides of the Face Using Saline Washed or Unwashed Fat Graft.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Autologous facial fat graft injection for Facial Skin Texture and Facial Skin Pigmentation. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to specifically examine changes in facial skin appearance after facial fat grafting with autologous fat tissue that has either been washed with sterile saline before injecting, or left unwashed. This will be testing two variations of a standard of care surgical procedure, in two cohorts of subjects. One group will receive washed fat, and one group will receive unwashed fat, to both sides of the face. There are no experimental devices, drugs, or biological agents being used in this study. All fat tissue is autologous from the subjects treated. Significance: This study will provide evidence that may directly impact clinical practice for a common procedure in plastic surgery. Regardless of whether the null hypotheses is accepted or rejected, the data will be of direct clinical use and impact practice in the operating room.
