Résumé
Currently, several techniques for autologous fat graft (A-FG) preparation aimed at obtaining purified tissue exist. Both mechanical digestions via centrifugation, filtration, and enzymatic digestion were considered the most effective with different impacts in terms of adult adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells (AD-SVFs) amount that volume maintenance. This article aimed to report the in vivo and in vitro results, represented by fat volume maintenance and AD-SVFs amount, obtained by four different procedures of AD-SVFs isolation and A-FG purification based on centrifugation, filtration, centrifugation with filtration, and enzymatic digestion. A prospective, case-control study was conducted. In total, 80 patients affected by face and breast soft tissue defects were treated with A-FG and divided into four groups: n=20 were treated with A-FG enhanced with AD-SVFs obtained by enzymatic digestion (study group 1 [SG-1]); n=20 were treated with A-FG enhanced with AD-SVFs obtained by centrifugation with filtration (SG-2); n=20 were treated with A-FG enhanced with AD-SVFs obtained by only filtration (SG-3); n=20 were treated with A-FG obtained by only centrifugation according to the Coleman technique (control group [CG]). Twelve months after the last A-FG session, the volume maintenance percentage was analyzed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Isolated AD-SVF populations were counted using a hemocytometer, and cell yield was reported as cell number/mL of fat. Starting with the same amount of fat analyzed (20 mL), 50,000 ± 6956 AD-SVFs/mL were obtained in SG-1; 30,250 ± 5100 AD-SVFs/mL in SG-2; 33.333 ± 5650 AD-SVFs/mL in SG-3, while 500 AD-SVFs/mL were obtained in CG. In patients treated with A-FG enhanced with AD-SVFs obtained by automatic enzymatic digestion, a 63% ± 6.2% maintenance of fat volume restoring after 1 year was observed compared with 52% ± 4.6% using centrifugation with filtration, 39% ± 4.4% using only centrifugation (Coleman), and 60% ± 5.0% using only filtration. In vitro AD-SVFs cell analysis indicated that filtration was the most efficient system-between mechanical digestion procedures-thanks to the highest amount of cells obtained with fewer cell structure damage, producing in vivo, the most volume maintenance after 1 year.

BACKGROUND
Currently, several techniques for autologous fat graft (A-FG) preparation aimed at obtaining purified tissue exist. Both mechanical digestions via centrifugation, filtration, and enzymatic digestion were considered the most effective with different impacts in terms of adult adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells (AD-SVFs) amount that volume maintenance.
OBJECTIVES
This article aimed to report the in vivo and in vitro results, represented by fat volume maintenance and AD-SVFs amount, obtained by four different procedures of AD-SVFs isolation and A-FG purification based on centrifugation, filtration, centrifugation with filtration, and enzymatic digestion.
METHODS
A prospective, case-control study was conducted. In total, 80 patients affected by face and breast soft tissue defects were treated with A-FG and divided into four groups: n=20 were treated with A-FG enhanced with AD-SVFs obtained by enzymatic digestion (study group 1 [SG-1]); n=20 were treated with A-FG enhanced with AD-SVFs obtained by centrifugation with filtration (SG-2); n=20 were treated with A-FG enhanced with AD-SVFs obtained by only filtration (SG-3); n=20 were treated with A-FG obtained by only centrifugation according to the Coleman technique (control group [CG]). Twelve months after the last A-FG session, the volume maintenance percentage was analyzed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Isolated AD-SVF populations were counted using a hemocytometer, and cell yield was reported as cell number/mL of fat.
RESULTS
Starting with the same amount of fat analyzed (20 mL), 50,000 ± 6956 AD-SVFs/mL were obtained in SG-1; 30,250 ± 5100 AD-SVFs/mL in SG-2; 33.333 ± 5650 AD-SVFs/mL in SG-3, while 500 AD-SVFs/mL were obtained in CG. In patients treated with A-FG enhanced with AD-SVFs obtained by automatic enzymatic digestion, a 63% ± 6.2% maintenance of fat volume restoring after 1 year was observed compared with 52% ± 4.6% using centrifugation with filtration, 39% ± 4.4% using only centrifugation (Coleman), and 60% ± 5.0% using only filtration.
CONCLUSIONS
In vitro AD-SVFs cell analysis indicated that filtration was the most efficient system-between mechanical digestion procedures-thanks to the highest amount of cells obtained with fewer cell structure damage, producing in vivo, the most volume maintenance after 1 year. Enzymatic digestion produced the best number of AD-SVFs and the best fat volume maintenance.
