A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF THE CLINICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES AFTER FAT TRANSFER IN TREATMENT OF HYPERTROPHIC BURN SCARS.

Abstract

Managing burn scars using conventional surgical methods poses difficulties because of the frequent recurrence of contractures. Although fat grafting has been explored in limited clinical trials, these findings are often influenced by a lack of rigorous scientific validation. Typically, fat grafting is assessed for its ability to fill spaces rather than being thoroughly validated for its potential in regenerating dermal tissue. Animal research has demonstrated dermal regeneration through the formation of new collagen fibres and their reorientation. Our study seeks to bridge the gap between in vitro research validity and its application in realworld clinical scenarios
