Autologous Fat Grafting to Anophthalmic Sockets With PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Using a Closed Cannula Technique
After people lose an eye, for whatever reason, they often experience fat atrophy of the
tissues in the orbit. This leads to a sunken appearance that is often not correctable by a
cosmetic shell prosthesis. Current techniques to correct this deformity are inadequate/
invasive. Injection of various gels (Restylane, Radiesse) are temporary had have their own
disadvantages. This study seeks to demonstrate an improvement in the retention of injected
autologous fat by mixing in autologous PRP (platelet rich plasma).
