Abstract

Platelet-rich plasma has been increasingly used for facial rejuvenation in conjunction with other modalities such as microneedling or on its own. Nanofat grafting to the face has also been utilized for skin quality improvements. Our group previously described the novel combined Platelet Hybridized Adipose Transplant (PHAT) technique for hair restoration. In this series, we describe our experience with the PHAT technique for lip and facial rejuvenation to improve the quality of facial skin and superficial musculoaponeurotic system, and enhancing surgical results.

Keywords
