Inflammation with fat grafting

Inflammation is a sign ofirritation or infection. I don;t think it will compromise your fat grafting. It will be diminished by the bodie's defenses/ do't think a dressing will do anything

No information

Inflammation is a normal part of any surgery when tissue is manipulated. There is no information available on fat viability due to level of inflammation. The Polymem dressing is unlikely to have any beneficial effect for fat grafting.
