The Effect of Injection of Autologous Nanofat for Scar Rejuvenation – A Prospective Observational Study

Background: The current study’s aim was to assess the effect of injection of autologous nanofat among patients requesting for rejuvenation of scar less than 5 years duration. Methods: This research was done as a prospective observational study from April 2021 to March 2022 including 14 patients who attended Plastic Surgery OPD of a tertiary care centre for scar rejuvenation and were treated with autologous nanofat injection. Results: The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale was utilized to evaluate each patient. Following the surgery, both the patient and the observer’s total Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scores (namely, the average score of 6 items) considerably dropped, which is consistent with an improvement in scar quality. Conclusions: Autologous nanofat injection is a safe, easy, reliable option for scar rejuvenation especially for scars less than 5 years of duration. Categories: Plastic Surgery, Transplantation.
