Lipofilling—A Regenerative Alternate for Remodeling Burn Scars: A Clinico-Immunohistopathological Study

Abstract

Introduction Any injury involving the dermis will lead to scarring. Scar tissue can cause functional limitations, cosmetic impairments, pain, and itch. Adipose-derived stem cells have also been shown to play a role in scar modulation. This study evaluates changes in lipofilled scar over the period of time and compares it with non-lipofilled scar tissue.
