There are several people with the same question, and the idea is interesting, but I am still waiting for a peer reviewed journal advocating this as the best way to transfer fat, and have good stats to support the long term viability of the fat transferred.

Dear friends77 in houston, PRP or platelet rich plasma is growing in popularity. I have used it for direct facial shaping without fat, for improving the texture of the skin, improving wound healing. As far as micro fat grafting- I do not add it as the results of fat grafting are excellent on their own....so this would be an added expense. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD

Platelet Rich Plasma for Fat Grafting.....

There are many claims that PRP improves the fat cell survival, but as Dr Shureih stated, there is no good scientific evidence that this is true. If the fat is handled properly, you can obtain great results even without PRP.

Platelet rich plasma for fat transfer

Platelet rich plasma has many growth factors and has ben found to be beneficial in certain medical scenarios. Unfortunately there is no good scientific data on whether it fascilitates fat survival during fat grafting. That does not mean that it may not help, but fat grafting is too new a science and not enough research has been performend to define the ideal techniques. That being said, I don't believe that it can hurt and it may offer an advantage. Regards, D. Medalie, MD more

Adding Platelet Ruch Plasma, with all the growth factors in that mix may help with fat transfer take. How ever there is NO scientific data to support that. We are waiting for the science.
