Will PRP reserve BBL FAT?

Question

My post op spa place introduced me to PRP and said it will help reserve the fat but can only be done after 30 days bbl post op. Are there any studies or cases to show this actually works?

Mathew A. Plant, MD, FRCSC · Answer

There is no evidence to support that claim and the spa version of PRP usually involves micro needling that only goes to the dermis. The fat that was transferred has stem cells within it that are far more powerful than anything in PRP. I would personally say don't waste your time or money.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

In my practice PRP is indispensable in accelerating wound healing but we have not added it to the fat grafts. I am not sure about PRP and the literature supporting fat grafting improvement.  I will say that I perform hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year, and the results are very significant without the PRP.

Atul Kesarwani, MD, FRCSC · Answer

There is no science that shows present methods of adding platelet rich plasma to fat for grafting will increase its survival. Seeking a Plastic Surgeon who is experienced in performing these procedures, who can show you photographs of his own patients with similar body types as yourself, is your best route to get a good and safe result.

Sandip Jain, FRCS · Answer

There is no scietific study (radomized control trial) which proves that adding anything to fat graft improves its survivability and the eventual result. Until then its best to stick to simple well established, technique of injecting fat in its natural form.
