Background Autologous fat grafting (FG) is a popular technique for soft-tissue augmentation,
but the fat survival rate is unpredictable. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as an …

Background: The addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to adipose tissue may improve fat
graft survival, although graft retention rates vary markedly between studies. To what extent …

Background One of the most interesting developments in practical applications of fat grafting
in recent years is the use of prosurvival strategies to improve maintenance of volume …

Autologous fat grafting enables repair and augmentation of soft tissues and is increasingly
used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The main limitation of fat grafting is unpredictable …

Background The adjunction of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is emerging as a
promising approach to enhance the long-term survival of fat grafting, but there are still …

Objectives: Autologous fat theoretically provides one of the most ideal mediums for soft-
tissue augmentation and reconstruction, although its clinical applications have been marked …

Autologous fat transfer offers many qualities of a ideal soft tissue filler. Main advantages of
fat grafting ensue from the fact that the lipoaspirate tissue is an abundant source of …

Background The adjunction of platelet-rich plasma with graft fat has been the subject of a
few clinical trials which have demonstrated its value in adipocyte survival. The aim of this …

Purpose: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains protein growth factors, which are actively
secreted by platelets to promote wound healing. However, it is not clear whether the …

Background Autologous fat grafting has been widely used in plastic and reconstructive
surgery, but one of the main reasons for limiting its application is the high resorption rate …
