PRP Micro Fat Graft

Overview

Except for extremely minor or superficial wounds, all wounds leave scars; depressed facial scars not only cause physical issues but also psychological ones including emotional deterioration, embarrassment, low self-esteem, and social isolation.

Many treatments for the repair of depressed facial scars are available, including subcision, dermabrasion, chemical peeling, laser technology, fat grafting, and the use of fillers; however, these techniques have had different degrees of effectiveness and associated adverse effects.

Micro-fat injection has been shown to help with the remodeling of atophic facial scar tissue, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help with wound healing. Researchers anticipated that PRP might improve micro-fat graft survival and that the combination could improve scar appearance.
