Abstract

The invention relates to compositions comprising a hydrogel material that comprises a glycosaminoglycan polymer, adipose tissue and a compound of the structure The composition is administered to a site of a soft tissue condition including those of breast tissue. The hydrogel material can be porous or of solid particles. The glycosaminoglycan polymer can be a hyaluronan polymer.

Claims (29)

1. A composition comprising:

a) an adipose tissue;

b) a hydrogel material comprising a glycosaminoglycan polymer;

c) a compound having the structure of compound 24,

a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable amine salt thereof.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound is incorporated into a drug delivery platform comprising a biodegradable polymer matrix.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogel material is a porous material or solid particles.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein glycosaminoglycan polymer is a hyaluronan polymer.

5. A method of treating a soft tissue condition of an individual, the method comprising the step of administering to a site of the soft tissue condition a composition comprising adipose tissue, a hydrogel material comprising a glycosaminoglycan polymer, and a compound, the compound having the structure of compound 24,

a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable amine salt thereof;

wherein administration of the composition promotes formation of a blood supply sufficient to support the transplanted tissue, thereby treating the soft tissue site.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the soft tissue condition is a breast tissue condition, a facial tissue condition, a neck condition, a skin condition, an upper arm condition, a lower arm condition, a hand condition, a shoulder condition, a back condition, a torso including abdominal condition, a buttock condition, an upper leg condition, a lower leg condition including calf condition, a foot condition including plantar fat pad condition, an eye condition, or a genital condition.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the breast tissue condition is a breast imperfection, a breast defect, a breast augmentation, or a breast reconstruction.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the facial tissue condition is a facial imperfection, a facial defect, a facial augmentation, or a facial reconstruction.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the facial soft tissue condition is a dermal divot, a sunken cheek, a thin lip, a nasal imperfection or defect, a retro-orbital imperfection or defect, a facial fold, a facial line, a facial wrinkle, or other size, shape or contour imperfection or defect of the face.

10. The method of claim 5 , wherein the soft tissue condition is urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

11. A method of treating a soft tissue condition of an individual, the method comprising the steps of

a) administering adipose tissue to a site of the soft tissue condition;

b) administering an effective amount of a hydrogel material comprising a glycosaminoglycan polymer to the site of the soft tissue condition; and

c) administering a compound to the site of the soft tissue condition, the compound having the structure of compound 24,

a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable amine salt thereof;

wherein administration of the compound promotes formation of a blood supply sufficient to support the transplanted tissue, thereby treating the soft tissue site.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the glycosaminoglycan polymer is a hyaluronan polymer.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the hydrogel material is administered at the same time as, before, or after the compound is administered.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the soft tissue condition is a breast tissue condition, a facial tissue condition, a neck condition, a skin condition, an upper arm condition, a lower arm condition, a hand condition, a shoulder condition, a back condition, a torso including abdominal condition, a buttock condition, an upper leg condition, a lower leg condition including calf condition, a foot condition including plantar fat pad condition, an eye condition, or a genital condition.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the breast tissue condition is a breast imperfection, a breast defect, a breast augmentation, or a breast reconstruction.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the facial tissue condition is a facial imperfection, a facial defect, a facial augmentation, or a facial reconstruction.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the facial soft tissue condition is a dermal divot, a sunken cheek, a thin lip, a nasal imperfection or defect, a retro-orbital imperfection or defect, a facial fold, a facial line, a facial wrinkle, or other size, shape or contour imperfection or defect of the face.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the soft tissue condition is urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
