Dr. Buckingham recently attended the fall meeting of the American Academy of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. The meeting consisted of his attendance of his committee meeting followed by educational activities. As is usual, most of the meeting consisted of a few fine patches but usually reconfirmation of current techniques. One area of excitement however has been the development of a new processing method for autologous fat transfer, Puregraft. Puregraft is a specialized filtration system which fat for injection is harvested and rinsed through the filtration bag. All of the undesirable elements of the fat transfer are removed including red blood cells, white blood cells, inflammatory mediators and free fatty acids. All that remains are the viable fat cells and stem cells. We have begun using the Puregraft for all of our fat transfers and believe that it will lead to decreased recovery time and improved consistency of our results.
