Fibrin Glue to Minimize Fat Resorption in Neck?

Postby KelleyGirl » Sun Oct 18, 2009 4:31 pm

Hello Dr. Lam,

I came across an article in the medical journal Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (Vol. 137, Issue 2) where fibrin glue was used to modulate resorption of grafted fat in Nu/Nu mice. Is fibrin glue something that you would use in your patients and if so, do you believe that it will be effective in getting fat to stay in especially challenging areas such as the human neck?

Thank you so much for considering this question. And thank you for this forum and your videos as well.

interesting. don't know. i am always worried about fat taking too well. my fat holds very well. i actually don't want it to hold any better in the face, that is. however, in the neck, i understand. that may be an interesting idea.
thanks for sharing!
best,
