I am thinking about getting fat graft as a filler for some areas of my face. My doctor has told me that Puregraft is better and longer lasting than regular fat graft. Can you confirm this is true? Thank you!

Answer: Purgraf or not I use both Purgraf as well as other techniques for facial fat transfer. I agree with other posters that the post harvest processing method is only one factor involved with the ultimate fat survival . I do like purgraf very much and think it does a great job of purifying the fat, but for smaller volume cases I often use manual fat processing and transfer to save the patient money. In my experience the results are just as good and my results are consistent with many studies which show approximately 65-70% fat survival.

Answer: Puregraft Puregraft is a heavily marketed fat filter system.There is no whatsoever evidence that it works better than comparable techniques, there is only evidence that it costs a lot of money.
