Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Regenerative Medicine & Stem Cells

Regenerative medicine and stem cell applications are transforming plastic and reconstructive surgery by promoting tissue repair, wound healing, and aesthetic enhancement. Techniques include autologous stem cell therapies, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), tissue engineering, and bioengineered scaffolds. Applications range from soft tissue regeneration, fat grafting enhancement, scar remodeling, and chronic wound management. Innovations in 3D bioprinting, cell-based therapies, and growth factor modulation are expanding possibilities in both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Ethical considerations, patient safety, and regulatory compliance guide clinical application. Integration with conventional surgical techniques allows combined approaches for improved outcomes. Participants gain insights into translational research, practical clinical applications, and emerging technologies that enhance tissue regeneration, functional recovery, and aesthetic restoration in modern plastic surgery practice.
