The General Registry of Autologous Fat Transfer: Concept, Design, and Analysis of Fat Grafting Complications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The Plastic Surgery Foundation launched GRAFT, the General Registry of Autologous Fat Transfer, in October of 2015. This web-accessible registry addresses the need for prospective and systematic data collection, to determine the rates of unfavorable outcomes (complications) of fat grafting. Understanding and avoiding the factors that lead to complications can help establish safe practices for fat grafting.

Methods

Data collected between October of 2015 and November of 2019 were summarized for age, sex, indications, processing techniques, and fat graft volume. Rates of complications for fat grafting to various anatomical areas were calculated.

Results

The General Registry of Autologous Fat Transfer collected data
