Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) – a New Matrix to Enhance Fat Graft Survival

In this age of perfection, not just celebrities, even normal people are obsessed with their looks. Cosmetic surgeries have proved to be very helpful for people having serious body defects either from birth or by some serious accident. Plastic surgery is basically divided into reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery.

Reconstructive plastic surgery is used to reconstruct a person’s appearance that may have been damaged by injury or disease, whereas cosmetic surgery or beauty surgery is done to restore the beauty of the person.

Plastic surgery improves one’s appearance which is perceived as the primary benefit of the procedure. These days PRP treatment is in trend and is practiced by many surgeons. Platelet rich plasma improves fat grafting outcomes. Fat grafting or fat transfer treatment is the surgical process where fat is transferred from one part of the body to another part through liposuction.

Liposuction plastic surgery: What should you know?

It is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes specific areas of the body by removing extra fat deposits. This treatment is not suggested for obesity or a substitute for exercise and a proper diet. Liposuction requires going under anesthesia for the treatment. This means that a patient won’t feel any pain during the liposuction procedure. However, he/she will feel pain after the procedure. According to the plastic surgeons, good candidates for liposuction include people who:

• don’t have a lot of excess skin

• have good skin elasticity

• have good muscle tone

• have fat deposits that won’t go away with diet or exercise

• have overall health

• aren’t overweight or obese

• don’t smoke

Platelet Rich Plasma is a non-invasive and safe rejuvenation procedure which uses blood plasma from our own body to rejuvenate and lift the skin. It is a much less invasive procedure wherein the plasma is enriched with platelets – blood cells whose function is to promote faster healing with less swelling and bruising.

Platelet-rich plasma injection has been extensively used in various clinical settings, including heart surgery, sports medicine, and wound care. In PRP procedures, a small sample of the patient's blood is processed to release various growth factors from platelets – specialized blood cells involved in clotting.

The platelets in PRP are nutrient-rich cells that stimulate the regeneration of the underlying structural integrity of your skin. These growth factors work to stimulate the release of the skin’s own stem cells encouraging the skin to create new blood vessels, stimulate new collagen growth, and grow new skin cells.

What is the  Recovery Time for PRP Treatment?

Recovery time varies but mostly it takes 2-3 days to return to normal social activities, with optimal results being reflected within 5-6 weeks.

It is recommended by cosmetic plastic surgeons to avoid wearing makeup for a few days just after the procedure. Patient’s skin will be regenerating new skin cell so it will demand extra protection from the sun.

Avoid sun exposure for at least a month after getting treatment — even in winter or in a cold climate. Apply a broad-spectrum sunblock having minimum SPF of 30. The primary active ingredients of sunblock must include zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

How does PRP breast lift works?

• As you arrive at a cosmetic surgery clinic for breast lift plastic surgery, you are given oral pain medication and a sedative.

• Blood (approx. 10ml) is drawn from your arm.

• This blood is spun in a special centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and other blood components.

• Pure PRP is extracted and injected into multiple locations in the upper breast tissue. Nitrous Oxide will also be administered during this portion of the breast surgery.

• This special regenerative breast procedure improves the texture, lift and appearance of the patient’s breasts and nipples, within 3 weeks.
