Study on the Efficacy of Autologous Fat Grafting in Improving Hair Transplantation Outcomes for Patients With Localized Scleroderma-Related Alopecia

Investigating the efficacy and safety of autologous fat grafting combined with hair transplantation for the treatment of hair loss in patients with localized scleroderma."

Ultrasound-Assessed Facial Macrofat Retention After Facelift

Facelift surgery repositions facial soft tissues but does not by itself restore all age-related volume loss. Autologous macrofat can be placed during the same operation to restore volume, yet the amount of grafted tissue that remains and the way the facial subcutaneous layer remodels are not routinely quantified. This study will prospectively standardize injected-volume recording and ultrasound mapping of predefined facial zones. A one-month scan, obtained after the early postoperative period, will serve as the imaging reference for the grafted tissue compartment, and a one-year scan will quantify persistent volume and tissue remodeling.

Ultrasonic Perfusion Imaging in Post-mastectomy Irradiated Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate post-mastectomy breast skin blood supply (perfusion) after radiation therapy, and before and after fat grafting to the breast(s).

Autologous Fat Grafting in Radiated Soft Tissue Reconstruction

The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of autologous fat grafting on soft tissue reconstruction of the breast following radiation treatment. Moving fat from one part of the body to another has been used for reconstruction for hundreds of years. However, it is not fully understood how well this works in reconstruction after radiation is used for cancer treatment.
