Abstract (original English)
A 42-year-old mother underwent a combined abdominal cosmetic procedure with fat grafting to the rectus muscle. Twenty-four days post-surgery, she developed a voluminous abdominal mass corresponding to cytosteatonecrosis. Ultrasound-guided fluid aspirations failed to treat her, and surgical drainage was necessary. The limits of combined procedures need to be discussed.
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • Without an adequate control group, treatment effects cannot be separated from other factors.
Evidence level
Early human evidence such as case series or small samples is exploring possible benefits.
