We reviewed the article "What About the Rheological Properties of PRP/Microfat Mixtures in Fat Grafting Procedure?" and found it highly intriguing. Fat grafting is widely used in plastic surgery, but the issue of inconsistent fat resorption poses a challenge. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been incorporated to enhance fat revascularization, yet the ideal fat-to-PRP ratio remains undetermined. This study focused on analyzing the rheological properties of microfat combined with different proportions of PRP. The preparation protocol for PRP lacks standardization, and the absence of specific platelet and leukocyte information raises concerns. Further analysis is needed to establish reliable conclusions on PRP applications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
