acne scars and fat injection

This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on managing, treating, and correcting acne scarring. (Of note, Dr. Lam is focused principally on acne scarring rather than on managing the ongoing condition of acne, which a dermatologist would be better equipped to address.)

acne scars and fat injection

Postby aga » Tue Mar 22, 2011 3:22 pm

Hello,
my doctor proposed me a fat injection to cure my acne scars. Can you tell me if it works in your opinion?
thank you.

generally speaking it tends to fail. i think it can also be dangerous because fat is a metabolically active product that should be evenly placed across the face. if there is a lot tissue loss to the face, i would use it to help acne scars if it were done in combination with facial rejuvenation. however, as a standalone treatment it is not a good option in my opinion.
best,
