Patients with craniofacial microsomia, Treacher Collins syndrome
|
Two groups: abdomen and non-abdominal sites
|
Measured 2D analysis using pre-op and post-op photographs. Adipose tissue from abdominal or non-abdominal sources equally corrected asymmetry

Liposuction aspirate
|
Six donor sites: upper abdomen, lower abdomen, knee, inner thigh, flank and trochanteric region
| |
The cell concentration in lower abdomen and inner thigh was statistically higher than in other areas

Liposuction aspirate
|
Three donor sites: lower abdomen, thigh and flank
| |
In younger patients, adipocyte viability was greater in the lower abdomen than in the flank; in older patients, this difference was not seen. Higher viability of flank adipocytes in the older group compared with younger group
