Conditions

Facial Lipofilling

Brief summary

The objective is to show the superiority of the PRP + microfat (MG) mixture compared to microfat alone, in the filling of large subcutaneous depressions of the face and skull. The investigators chose to study the post neurosurgical sequelae after removal and reinstallation of the cranial flap, with, for example, damage to the temporal muscle and asymmetry of the temples or sinking of the cranial flap

Detailed description

This clinical superiority study will be conducted in a double-blind, randomized fashion. The follow-up of each patient will be 6 months post injection. 22 patients will be included and randomized into 2 arms: PRP + microfat or microfat alone. The primary endpoint will be assessed by a radiologist in a blinded fashion, using 3 MRI scans: the month before the procedure, the day after, and at 6 months (time at which fat resorption decreases).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
resorption rate of the injected fat6 monthscalculated from volumetric measurements assessed from MRI 2 (post-injection) and MRI3 (at 6 months): V MRI 2 - V MRI3

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Visual Analogical Pain Scale6 MONTHSThe measurement of the impact of pain on the cranial scar will be evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS), rated from 0 to 100.
SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire6MONTHSThe Short Form (36) Health Survey is a standardized test for measuring quality of life. It is a measure of health status. A score for each dimension of the SF-36 was calculated, ranging from 0 to 100
