Burn scar regeneration with the “SUFA” (Subcision and Fat Grafting) technique. A prospective clinical study

Treatment of burn scars with traditional surgical techniques is challenging due to recurrent contractures. Fat grafting has been previously used in small clinical series and results are often biased by lack of scientific validating methods. Fat grafting in clinical practice is often evaluated for its filler properties and rarely scientifically validated for its potential in dermal regeneration. Animal studies have shown dermal regeneration with new deposition and reorientation of the collagen fiber. Our study aims to apply the validity of in vitro studies to clinical practice.
