Multinational Trends and Applications Considering Oncologic Risk Potential in Autologous Fat Grafting in the Face and Neck | Chapter 4 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 11

 Since there is more evidence to support its usage, autologous fat grafting (AFG) is becoming more used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries.

We wanted to analyse present harvesting and processing strategies for AFG in the craniofacial area.

To determine the clinical impact of oncological risk, we performed a study in four European countries. Between the German-speaking and English-speaking groups, we found no significant regional variations in harvesting and processing methods. Half of our responders talked about the likelihood of AFG's pro-oncologic behaviour. Techniques used in AFG harvesting and processing do not significantly differ by region. Since there isn't an exceptional publication on the topic, more investigation into the oncologic risk potential of AFG in head and neck tumour locations is required.
