Abstract The fat grafting procedure began with liposuction to collect a small amount of the patient’s own fat tissue—usually from the abdomen. After processing, surgeons reinjected the fat cells under the skin in the area of scarring. Fat was distributed in different directions, with the goal of creating a ”web” of support for scarred, damaged skin. Regenerative medicine is an emerging and rapidly evolving field of research and therapy, thanks to new discoveries on stem cells. Adipose tissue is a connective tissue which contains a reserve of mesenchymal stem cells. Clinical improvements in trophic characteristics of teguments after autologous fat graft are well described in literature. Injection of processed autologous fat seems to be a promising and effective therapeutic approach for scars with different origin such as burns and other trauma scars. In general, we can affirm that treated areas regain characteristics similar to normal skin leading not only to aesthetic but also functional results. |
