Comparison of graft survival between fat harvested from abdomen and medial thigh for facial contour deformity: a randomized control trial

The fat will be harvested from medial thigh in Group A by consultant Plastic Surgeon. The procedure will done under local anesthesia. The duration of procedure will be around 60 minutes. The procedure will be done to correct the contour deformity of the patients by filling the fat in different layers of skin and underlying tissue in single procedure. Tumescent or infiltration Solution was made of 0.5% lidocaine with 1:200000 epinephrine diluted in 200 ml lactate ringer solution. This was injected with 17 G cannula in subcutaneous tissue of donor area. The injection and harvesting was done at 2:1. The fat with 23G cannula was harvested and prepared with the help of gravity. The fat separated from fluid and oil. The extracted fat was injected with 1cc syringe attached to 14 G needle in multiple layers. 20-30% over correction of contour deformity was done because of chance of absorption. At the end of the procedure, the steri strip over the recipient and dressing for donor sites was applied.
