case_images: (a) A 62-year-old male suffered from postburn scarring 2 months from the burn injury with eyelid deformities, limiting the closure of the eyelids. The patient underwent excision of the scar on the eyelid and autologous full-thickness skin reconstruction. Nanofat grafting was conducted at the same time on the left temporal scar. (b) When he underwent a dressing change for the first time at 2-week postoperation, all ulcers had healed and the scar had become softer and less visible. (c) The scar was much lighter at the 3-month postoperation follow-up.

case_images: The VSS was 11 (Figure 1(a)). When the patient underwent a dressing change for the first time at 2-week postoperation, all ulcers were healed, the VSS was reduced to 6 (Figure 1(b)), and both the itch and pain scores were reduced to 4. The scar became softer and was less visible at the 3-month postoperation follow-up, and the VSS, itch score, and pain score were reduced to 4, 2, and 2, respectively (Figure 1(c)).

case_images: An 18-month-old boy developed a hypertrophic scaring 4 months ago on his right lower extremity, along with deformities and dysfunctions of his ankle and knee. Full-thickness skin reconstruction was conducted on his ankle and foot, and nanofat grafting was conducted on his right thigh at the same time. Images of the boy's right lower extremity at (a) preoperation, (b) 2-week postoperation, and (c) 3-month postoperation are shown.

case_images: The VSS was 14 at the preoperation time point (Figure 2(a)). The scar became softer, the scar color changed from red to pink at the 2-week postoperation follow-up, and the VSS was reduced to 10 (Figure 2(b)). Then the scar became much softer and lighter at the 3-month postoperation follow-up, and the VSS was reduced to 5 (Figure 2(c)).

case_images: A 28-year-old male developed hypertrophic scaring on both hands over a period of 8 months. He underwent bilateral abdominal skin flap reconstruction and nanofat grafting under the scars on both wrists. The red rectangle shows the fat grafting sites. a, b, and c show the left hand, and d, e, and f show the right hand. Images were obtained at (a, d) the preoperation, (b, e) 3-week postoperation, and (c, f) 3-month postoperation time points, respectively.

case_images: The VSS was 12 at the preoperation time point (Figure 3a and d). The scars on both wrists were softer and lighter at 3 weeks after he underwent skin flap pedicle division compared to those at preoperation, the VSS was reduced to 9, the itch score was reduced from 7 to 4, and the pain score was reduced from 6 to 4 (Figure 3 b and e). The VSS, itch score, and pain score were reduced to 6, 2, and 2, respectively (Figure 3c and f).
