Safety and Fat Grafting in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
Dr. Schlaudraff contributed to a new compelling article published in the ISAPS international journal Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (vol. 49), titled: “Recommendations on Ensuring Safety in Lower Limb Fat Grafting: Physiological Insights, Risk Assessment and Advanced Surgical Techniques.”
This article is part of the ISAPS Patient Safety Statement series and offers practical guidance to make fat grafting in the lower limbs (particularly the calves) safer. Dr. Schlaudraff and his colleagues review the latest scientific evidence and highlight the specific risks associated with this procedure, emphasizing the importance of using appropriate techniques, carefully controlling injection volumes, and prioritizing patient safety over aesthetic goals.
