Effect of Nano Fat Injection on Post-Burn Scars in Suez Canal University Hospital
Plastic Surgery Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University
Abstract
Background: Burn scars can hinder daily activities and have an adverse effect on one's quality of life by causing aesthetic and functional issues. Injecting adipose tissue that has been acquired by liposuction into the dermis and/or subcutis of the targeted body location is known as lipofilling. It has been acknowledged as a promising procedure for the treatment of scars as well as the correction of volume shortage and skin renewal. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Nano fat injection on post-burn scar patients in Suez Canal University Hospital using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS). Patients and Methods: A total of 26 individuals with postburn scars at Suez Canal University Hospital Plastic Surgery Clinic participated in this randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients underwent a clinical examination that included determining the location, size, shape, and time of the scar, as well as their complaints of disfigurement, itching, burning, discomfort, or contracture. Every patient had liposuction, either from the thigh or the belly. After the fat was processed, Nano fat was reinjected into the scar. Results: Mean age of the patients was 29.65±3.94 years with 84.6% females. Scaled burn with the commonest type by 61.5%. The scars were distributed between the Upper trunk (11.5%), lower trunk (69.2%), and head and neck (19.2%). The main harvest site was the lower abdomen (69.2%) followed by the inner thigh (30.8%). The mean amount of the fat injected was 46.54±18.34 ranging from 15 to 80cc. Comparing the pre and post-operative observer scores, showed that the improvement of the score in all items (vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, and surface area) is statistically significant. Conclusion: Our study's findings revealed a considerable improvement in the various scar parameters following Nano fat injection, making it an effective treatment option for treating post-burn scars and enhancing patients' quality of life.
