Structural Fat Grafting for Craniofacial Trauma Using Manual Technique for Processing Fat Graft Material (BTI++)
This study will examine the impact of the fat grafting procedure on facial appearance and quality of life over time by precisely measuring soft tissue volume with CT scans, assessing appearance with 2D and 3D photography and standard photography and evaluating quality of life through various validated psychosocial measures. This study will be a very important evaluation of the effectiveness of this therapy, and will help guide clinicians in applying this technique. Additionally, laboratory testing of the injected fat material will be performed so that the results may be correlated with clinical outcomes in the future. The study endpoints include the analysis of the graft site via study procedures at different time points, the comparison of cotton rolling to centrifugation method of autologous fat grafting, as well as the correlation of cell behavior of the laboratory assays with clinical outcomes.
