    There have been so many things going on in the area of wound repair and facial trauma recovery. Plastic surgeons have been very busy looking for ways to do such things in order to provide better services to their clients as a way of helping them go about their lives more easily. Surgeons have tapped the help of stem cells and facial transplantation to address the need. In fact, surgeons have published a number of studies showing leaps in healing patients heal, according to a recent issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

    According to ASPS President, Roxanne Guy, MD, plastic surgeons are making impressive steps in finding better ways to heal wound. As soon as the new findings come in, diabetics may soon have more choices to battle the disease. Also, patients of all kinds may be able to heal faster and forgo extensive pain medication because of this research.

    There are two new findings that could help patients with diabetes. The first one is the bone marrow stem cells that may help to heal patients faster than utilizing the whole stem cell. The second one is a workable scaffold that will allow surgeons to mold and hold stem cells prior to injecting into the body, allowing patients to grow their own tissue graft right on the wound site. These developments could give a faster relief for patients with diabetes.

    The use of pulsed magnetic fields could greatly help any surgical patient to experience less pain and heal faster, according to another study. Magnetic fields that have low frequency are directed at the wound with a small portable device to aid cells in healing the body. This promising treatment may give patients the ability to be back on their feet much faster after a surgical operation.

    Lastly, Dr. Guy has these inspiring words concerning the studies: "These studies show the ways plastic surgeons may soon help people get back to their daily lives quicker — whether transplanting a face for a patient that allows them to live at ease among society again or helping a woman who's had breast reconstruction heal faster."
