Autologous Fat Grafting With PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) to Anophthalmic Sockets
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
After people lose an eye, for whatever reason, they often experience fat atrophy of the tissues in the orbit. This leads to a sunken appearance that is often not correctable by a cosmetic shell prosthesis. Current techniques to correct this deformity are inadequate/ invasive. Injection of various gels (Restylane, Radiesse) are temporary had have their own disadvantages. This study seeks to demonstrate an improvement in the retention of injected autologous fat by mixing in autologous PRP (platelet rich plasma).

Experimental: fat grafting with PRP to anophthalmic orbits There is only one arm to this study. People with orbital atrophy and loss of an eye are to be injected with autologous fat mixed with autologous PRP (platelet rich plasma) and observed for at least one year for evidence of retention of the injected fat |
Procedure: autologous fat grafting with PRP to anophthalmic orbits

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Improved retention of autologous fat injected into anophthalmic sockets [1-5 yrs]
Non contrast MRIs of the orbits are obtained before, immediately after, and one year after injection of autologous fat mixed with autologous PRP (platelet rich plasma)
