Fat graft for scar release: a new approach
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if using your own fat cells during scar surgery helps heal better. If you need surgery to release a tight scar, you may be able to receive a fat graft from your own body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You need surgery to release a scar contracture (a tight scar that limits movement or causes discomfort)
- You are willing to be randomly assigned to receive a fat graft during your surgery
- You do not have an active infection
- You are not pregnant or planning pregnancy in the next year
- You have not had radiation to the scar area

This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
This trial uses your own fat (nano-fat) to improve the look and feel of burn scars that are less than 6 months old on your chest, shoulders, or back. It aims to reduce scar hardness and redness, making the scar blend better with your skin.
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
This study tests whether using your own fat (taken from another part of your body) under a skin graft helps the healing and cosmetic result after penile reconstruction. The fat may improve how the graft takes and how the area looks.
This trial uses your own fat to fill in facial depressions or defects from an injury or surgery. First, fresh fat is used for grafting, and extra fat is frozen to use later if needed.
This trial compares two methods of using your own fat to improve old burn or accident scars. It tests whether injecting the fat or using a special stamp-like device (microneedling) works better for making scars softer and less noticeable.
