Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Autologous fat grafting is one of the most commonly performed procedures, not only for cosmetic reasons, but in a variety of reconstructive procedures like correction of contour deformities and treatment of scars. The Coleman technique has been traditionally described as one of the efficient methods of fat harvest, where 10 mL syringes connected with a liposuction cannula are used for the manual harvest of fat; although it is a widely used technique, it becomes time-consuming and tiring when a large amount of fat has to be harvested. To overcome this issue, we have devised a simple, cost-effective, quicker method in resource-limited settings by using a 500-mL normal saline bottle as a closed chamber, which is in turn connected to a suction tube. The liposuction cannula is connected to a tube that is inserted into this closed chamber, where fat is aspirated and collected. Using this technique, a large amount of fat can be easily harvested in less time and with less effort, without damaging the adipocytes.
