Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Tissue regeneration is a process where damaged or injured tissues are replaced by new, healthy cells, effectively restoring their structure and function. It is a key focus in regenerative medicine and involves several techniques to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Approaches like stem cell therapy utilize stem cells to generate new tissue, particularly in cases of joint, cartilage, or bone damage. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses growth factors from the patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration, often used for muscle, tendon, and skin repairs. Exosome therapy accelerates regeneration by using particles from stem cells to promote tissue healing. Additionally, bioprinting and tissue engineering are advancing by creating scaffolds for regenerating organs or complex tissues. These techniques aim to repair or replace damaged tissues, promoting faster recovery and reducing the need for invasive surgeries.
