Abstract (original English)

Background Post acne and post burn facial scarring are more common in young generation leading to disfigurement and unpleasing result. These scars have major aesthetic, functional, and social effects on the affected person. Aim of the study was to establish the role of Autologous Nanofat grafting in treating post acne & post burn facial scarring in terms of pleasing aesthetic appearance of face & patient satisfaction.

Results Scars started improving after first session of Nanofat grafting and significant improvement in the scars was noted after 3rd session in terms of pigmentation, scar thickness and softness. Overall appearances of the scar were aesthetically improved a lot with a higher patient satisfaction rate.
