Plastic surgeons accustomed to use autologous fat grafs for augmentation of soft tissues in the last two decades. The main drawback of fat grafting is unpredictable graft resorption. Several studies have searched for new ways of increasing the viability of the transplanted tissue to overcome this disadvantage. The most recent and promising approach is to mix the fat graft with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) before transplantation. The purpose of this article is to present the initial experience using the autologous fat injection with platlet rich plasma as a method for fascial augmentation.
