    Many treatments have been proposed for cosmetic or functional improvement of scars. It is known that fat grafts and laser treatment can have beneficial effects on the remodeling of scar tissue. We hypothesized that laser and fat graft combination would be effective in improving scars appearance. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of this combination in the treatment of scars. Methods and Results: From 2012-2014, we treated with this combination 44 patients affected by scars involving different body parts. At 6 months the patients’ overall satisfaction rate was excellent for over 50% of the patients. Conclusion: The association of an ablative CO2laser with and autologous fat graft seems to be a promising and effective therapeutic approach for scars. Keywords: scar, fat graft, Fractional CO2, Laser.
