Activated platelet-rich plasma improves fat graft survival in nude mice: a pilot study.

Background: Numerous processing methods have been proposed to enhance the survival of fat grafts, but no definitive treatment protocol is available. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains a high concentration of platelets with neovascularization properties and has the potential to promote fat graft survival.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of activated PRP on human graft quality and survival.
