Autologous Fat Injection into the Vocal Folds: Technical Considerations and Long‐Term Follow‐up

Abstract: Numerous materials have been used over the years for vocal fold augmentation. Early use of bioreactive compounds, such as paraffin, gave way to relatively inert substances, such as Teflon. More recently biocompatible materials, such as collagen and autologous fat, have gained wider acceptance. Autologous fat, in particular, is an easily obtainable source for potential rehabilitation of scarred, paralytic, and atrophic vocal folds. However, long-term systematic follow-up has been lacking. Since 1991 we at the U… Show more

“…Authors such as Duke and Shaw considered that there is still no ideal implantable substance to apply on the lamina propria of vocal folds 18,19 . In the studies carried out by Mikus et al 20 , we confirmed that there has been a very heterogeneous absorption of fat, causing variation between 2.3% and 70%, in addition to worsening of vocal quality within 3 to 6 months after the surgery.…”

“…Desde que a gordura foi proposta como material a ser utilizado para injeções intracordais 11 , muitos estudos têm abordado o problema da reabsorção da gordura no período pós-operatório e a conseqüente deterioração da qualidade vocal [4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12] . A literatura, contudo, é pobre no que tange à distribuição espacial da gordura injetada e seus efeitos sobre o contorno da borda livre, configuração glótica e alterações das propriedades viscoelásticas de cada camada da prega vocal.…”

“…Mais recentemente, a gordura tem sido apontada como uma boa alternativa, já que apresenta diversas qualidades: é autóloga e fácil de colher por lipoaspiração, apresenta risco mínimo de formação de granuloma e de reação de corpo estranho ou hipersensibilidade 4,5 .…”
