Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) offers benefits to plastic surgery patients

Several studies have reported on the positive impact of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, as discussed in a recent issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). However, the report also determined several limitations with using PRP therapy for facial aesthetic procedures, primarily due to the absence of PRP preparation and injection standards.

PRP therapy is not unique to the world of plastic surgery. The therapy is used in areas including sports medicine, heart surgery, and wound care. PRP involves drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood in order to generate growth responses from the surrounding platelets. In aesthetic medicine, plastic surgeons have used the regenerative properties associated with PRP to elicit natural healing responses from the body and provide the face and surrounding areas with a healthier, more natural appearance.

All 14 of the existing major studies investigating the effects of PRP as a facial rejuvenation tactic have determined the results of the therapy to be positive. Common benefits include a reduction in wrinkles and stronger skin.

Dr. Keith S. Berman has worked as a board-certified plastic surgeon in Staten Island, New York, for more than two decades. During this time, Dr. Keith Berman, MD, has performed an array of cosmetic medical procedures, from breast augmentation to platelet-rich plasma therapy.

Is Breast Augmentation using Fat Grafting a Viable
Alternative to Breast Implants?

Patients have a number of options when it comes to breast augmentation, including fat transfer breast augmentation, also known as fat grafting augmentation. Fat transfer breast augmentation procedures make use of liposuction technology as a means of collecting excess fat from one part of the body and injecting it into the breasts. While many patients prefer this approach to augmentation, there are a few risks that must be considered, including the possibility of fat cells introduced to the breasts leaving the desired area and, in some cases, falling to necrosis.

Patients should thoroughly discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of fat grafting augmentation with their doctors. Often, a surgeon will advise a patient to take part in a tissue expansion program in order to optimize results. Similarly, patients may need to return to their surgeon for touch-up injections in order to maintain the enhanced look and feel of their breasts.
