Millions of people suffer from pain & discomfort due to scars caused by trauma, burn injuries, surgery and acne etc. Now a new technique is being used which involves injection of patients own fat cells into hard contracted scars. This was used in hard & contracted scars which did not improve with conservative treatment. This presentation describes the procedure, instruments, techniques of harvesting & refinement, surgical protocol and results. The conclusion drawn is that lipoinjection improves the aesthetic & functional results of these hypertrophic scars and makes them less painful.
