Abstract
|
|
|
|
Scars are still a challenging problem in medical practice, despite advancements in treatment modalities. Numerous treatment modalities, ranging from simple revision, Z-plasty, and W-plasty to laser treatments, have been used to treat scar deformities. However, for wide depressed scars, additional methods are needed to completely restore the contour of the depression caused by tissue adhesion. We report on the case of a 34-year-old woman with a wide depressed scar deformity on the left upper buttock and the encouraging results of an autologous fat graft injection technique that utilized a cutting wire to form a pocket for the fat graft site, while simultaneously resolving the adhesion caused by the tissue. This method is safe and easily reproducible, making it a useful addition to the surgeon’s toolkit when dealing with such lesions.
