Abstract

Introduction: The myth to rejuvenate or to be eternally beautiful is a dream that the humanity has always shared in many legends.

Objective: To evaluate the results of lipotransference by assisted decantation with stem cells of adipose tissue for the facial rejuvenation.

Methods: A descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out with 35 patients selected by simple random sampling in the Plastic Surgery Service of Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital in Havana city, from September, 2019 to the same month in 2022.

Results: In the case material, the mean age was of 46,5 ± 11,5 years with minimum values of 34 and maximum 57 years; 48.6% was in the 50-59 age group. A prevalence of the II cutaneous phototype was verified (60.0%); in healthy patients, the highest percentage with aging degree was that of type III (57.1%). There was a prevalence of fine wrinkles in rest and deeper lines with facial expression (40.0%) in those who would receive assisted lipotransference. After the treatment improvement was verified in all the patients; none presented complication. The evaluation of this procedure was good (94.3%).

Conclusions: Lipotransference is a minimumly invasive procedure with advantages as for histocompatibility, durability and smaller number of complications; it has a high rate of acceptance. The favorable final result, security and effectiveness are observed in the patient's satisfaction.
