PRP pre-treatment of the implantation zone improves the survival rate of fat autograft by Ilona Pak, Meirambek Askarov, Dmitriy Klyuyev, Min Sungh Tak, Ulpan Batenova, Dauren Yeskermessov, Yevgeniy Kamyshanskiy

“…After 3 months (90 days) of exposure, macroscopic and histological examinations of the fat autograft were conducted.ResultsThe volume and histological normality of the fat autograft were statistically significantly preserved in the group with preoperative treatment of the implant area and intraoperative treatment of the autograft compared to the group without it and with intraoperative treatment alone.DiscussionWe have demonstrated that the pre-implantation use of platelet-rich plasma significantly improves the standard intraoperative technique and increases the survival rate of the fat autograft by enhancing angiogenesis, with a decreased degree of hypoxic-ischemic, fibrotic, and inflammatory damage in the implant area.ConclusionThe effect of improved preservation of the morphological pattern of the fat implant during preoperative treatment may be due to a favorable preoperative locoregional stromal-vascular microenvironment with an active perfusion and diffusion potential of the stromal skeleton.…”
