Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of rinsing with different fluids and times on fat viability in autologous fat transfer.Methods Fat was obtained by tumescent liposuction and then rinsed by normal saline or balanced fluid for 0,1,3,5,and 10 times.Fat viability was determined by glucose transportation test.Results The number of glucose transportation was higher in normal saline group,as compared with that in balanced fluid group(P<0.05).In both the groups,the number of glucose transportation in 3-time rinsing subgroup was lower than 0-and 1-time rinsing subgroups(P<0.01).In normal saline group,the number of glucose transportation showed no statistical difference between 3-time and 5-time rinsing subgroups(P>0.05),and was lower in 10-time rinsing subgroup as compared with 3-time and 5-time rinsing subgroups(P< 0.05).In balanced fluid group,there were no significant differences in the number of glucose transportation between 3-,5and 10-time rinsing subgroups(P >0.05).Conclusion Rinsing can improve the viability of fat following tumescent anesthesia.The increase in fat viability will be higher with normal saline rinsing,as compared with balanced fluid rinsing.Fat should be fully rinsed for 3 times with normal saline.
