Sometimes the fat graft take fails and subsequent tissue alterations can interfere with the diagnostics of pathological changes.</p> <p><strong>Methods/ Results</strong><strong>: </strong>A 49-year-old patient presented with a palpable mass in her left breast 7 years after lipofilling augmentation. The ultrasound examination showed small cystic lesions. Fine needle aspirations and a core biopsy was non-diagnostic. The cystic lesion reappeared, and a surgical excision revealed the diagnosis of an intermediate grade DCIS.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong><strong>: </strong>After lipofilling, any suspicious lumps might need more vigilant observation, as common benign post-lipofilling findings like cysts or calcifications may hide malignant pathology.</p> Sora Linder Kristina Bolten Zsuzsanna Varga Hisham Fansa Copyright © 2023 Sora Linder, Kristina Bolten, Zsuzsanna Varga, Hisham Fansa https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-07-18 2023-07-18 13 16 https://ojs.luminescience.cn/AMPS/article/view/168 <p><strong>Objective</strong>: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based injectable formulation of stable hybrid cooperative complexes of high (H-HA) and low (L-HA) molecular weight HA (32 mg of H-HA and 32 mg of L-HA) produced by NAHYCO^® Hybrid Technology (Profhilo^®^,hereinafter referred to as "The product"), for the treatment of wrinkles, roughness and laxity of the skin of the face and neck areas in women of Chinese ethnicity resident in Italy.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: 28 women from 30 to 60 years of age were enrolled, 18 for the neck area and 10 for the face. The self-isolation of the included subjects due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak prevented the completion of the trial as to the approved protocol, which scheduled a follow-up until week 16 after baseline, and amendments to original plan were necessary. The productwas intradermally injected in 2 sessions, 4 weeks apart, assessments were performed at 4, and 8 weeks after the first injection as to the neck, while 3 subjects were evaluated until week 12 for the face. Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS), Facial Volume Loss Score (FVLS) were used to clinically assess results for the face, while the IBSA Neck Laxity Scale was used for neck evaluation; superficial and deep hydration were assessed by a corneometer and a moisturemeter while skin color changes of the face were measured with a spectrophotometer; all these evaluations were supported by 3D photographic documentation.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Data showed overall improvement of the evaluated parameters already after the first round of treatment both at the facial and neck level, with a benefit that was kept or increased after the second session, with a very high tolerability profile. Although the amelioration trend was clearly visible, the obtained data are not statistically significant, probably due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak that prevented to analyze results from a larger population.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Despite further analysis are required, the product injections could represent a promising treatment to induce skin amelioration in both face and neck areas in Chinese women, and it was well-tolerated.</p> Adele Sparavigna Roberto Lualdi Marco Cicerone Andrea Maria Giori Gilberto Bellia Copyright © 2023 Adele Sparavigna, Roberto Lualdi, Marco Cicerone, Andrea Maria Giori, Gilberto Bellia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-07-03 2023-07-03 5 12
