Abstract (original English)

This article presents the authors' experience with the use of fat grafting via the Coleman technique, for the adjuvant treatment of facial burn wounds and their sequelae. It demonstrates the regenerative effects of fat injected under the wound and/or the scar as well as of fat delivered to the debrided surface of the wound and to the surface of the scar after laser treatment or microneedling.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • Without an adequate control group, treatment effects cannot be separated from other factors.

Evidence level
