Pocket Grafting with Dermal Grafts: Autologous Collagen Implants for Permanent Correction of Cutaneous Depressions

The objective of this study was to develop the rationale, operative results, and methods obtained from dermal grafting and to compare them with existing methods of soft-tissue augmentation. Techniques for delivery of autologous collagen for permanent correction of cutaneous depressions are described, evaluated, and discussed in detail, including an illustration and discussion of results obtained from correction of broad undulating acne scars and deep rhytides. The method of dermal grafting under study is then compared with existing procedures for soft-tissue augmentation. Pocket grafting with dermal grafts was found to be a promising technique for correction of certain facial defects.
