Possibilities of lipofilling in the therapy of vulvar lichen sclerosus
https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2025-821-25
Abstract
The article presents the application of lipofilling as an innovative method of treating of the vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS). The main methods of treating VLS are often accompanied by side effects, relapses, or limited effectiveness in the progression of the disease. In this context, lipofilling based on autologous adipose tissue transplantation attracts attention as a promising minimally invasive therapeutic approach. The results of the conducted clinical study confirm the effectiveness of autolipophilling in the treatment of VLS. The obtained research results showed that autolipophilling is a promising method of treating of the vulvar lichen sclerosus, which not only effectively eliminates the symptoms, but also restores the structure of tissues, improving their elasticity and appearance. However, additional research is needed to standardize therapeutic approaches, confirm the effectiveness of the method, and ensure long-term safety.
