Abstract
Autologous platelet gel is now being used in many surgical specialties. It is appropriate for use in plastic surgery procedures that entail a significant risk of hematoma, such as breast surgery, face lifts, nasal surgery, and skin grafting. Advantages include adhesive benefits, a reduction in risk of bleeding, and the added bonus of increased leukocyte concentration. (Aesthetic Surg J 2001;21:377-379.).
