Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the combined treatment of acupotomy subcision and Nanofat grafting in depressed scars.
Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was performed on 32 patients with moderate to severe depressed facial scars treated between November 2020 and April 2023. The treatment involved acupotomy subcutaneous scrape, followed by Nanofat injection. Clinical assessments included measurement of scar concavity using a 3D camera, the Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), and a skin analysis system to evaluate collagen and elastin levels.
Results: The study found a significant reduction in scar concavity from a mean of -0.90 ± 0.44 mm pre-treatment to -0.10 ± 0.18mm six months post-treatment. POSAS scores showed substantial improvements in scar esthetics at 6 months post-operation. There was also a significant increase in skin elasticity and a decrease in skin collagen levels following treatment.
Conclusion: The combined application of acupotomy subcision and Nanofat grafting was effective in reducing the depression of depressed scars, leading to significant improvements in scar appearance and patient satisfaction. This approach offers a minimally invasive and effective treatment option for patients with depressed scars.
Level of evidence v: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors www.springer.com/00266 .
期刊介绍：
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is a publication of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the official journal of the European Association of Societies of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (EASAPS), Società Italiana di Chirurgia Plastica Ricostruttiva ed Estetica (SICPRE), Vereinigung der Deutschen Aesthetisch Plastischen Chirurgen (VDAPC), the Romanian Aesthetic Surgery Society (RASS), Asociación Española de Cirugía Estética Plástica (AECEP), La Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reparadora (SACPER), the Rhinoplasty Society of Europe (RSE), the Iranian Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeons (ISPAS), the Singapore Association of Plastic Surgeons (SAPS), the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), the Egyptian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ESPRS), and the Sociedad Chilena de Cirugía Plástica, Reconstructiva y Estética (SCCP).
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides a forum for original articles advancing the art of aesthetic plastic surgery. Many describe surgical craftsmanship; others deal with complications in surgical procedures and methods by which to treat or avoid them. Coverage includes "second thoughts" on established techniques, which might be abandoned, modified, or improved. Also included are case histories; improvements in surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and operating room equipment; and discussions of problems such as the role of psychosocial factors in the doctor-patient and the patient-public interrelationships.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is covered in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, SciSearch, Research Alert, Index Medicus-Medline, and Excerpta Medica/Embase.
