The Application and Efficacy Evaluation of Autologous Fat Transplantation in Antiaging of the Face: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Objective

To evaluate the therapy of autologous fat fine-grain transplantation in the application of antiaging facial by metaelaboration method.

Methods

In Chinese and English databases, such as Wanfang, Weipu, CNKI, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE, the literature on the use of autologous fat fines graft in antiaging facial was collected, covering randomized comparative trials, nonrandomized comparative studies, comparative case studies, cohort studies, case reports, and so forth. Meta-analyses were also conducted on complication rates, beauty seeker satisfaction, and one-shot success rates.

Results

This study included 23 studies that held metaelaborations, including a total of 2852 beauty seekers. According to metaelaboration, the complication rate was 0.02 (95% CI: 0.01, 0.04), the satisfaction rate of beauty seekers was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91, 0.97), and the success rate of one injection is 0.79 (95% CI: 0.73, 0.84).

Conclusion

Autologous fat fine-grain transplantation is obvious and stable in the use of antiaging facial, and it is necessary to popularize the use in clinical practice.

[Resection arthroplasty for thumb basal joint arthritis]

Due to the crucial role of the thumb for gripping, osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint leads to a substantial impairment of hand function. There are effective nonoperative and joint-preserving surgical treatment options for early stages of the disease. In advanced cases, after exploiting conservative treatment, carpometacarpal thumb arthrodesis or arthroplasty may be indicated in selected cases but trapeziectomy with or without interposition or suspension constitutes the gold standard surgical procedure. This reliably provides favorable results, irrespective of the technique, with pain relief, good physical function, excellent patient global assessment and low complication rates.
