Facial fat grafting is increasing worldwide. Although there are few reports in the literature on complications following facial lipofilling, rare but serious complications include embolic risk to local end organs…
Craniofacial deformities represent a great challenge for the patient and the plastic surgeon. Fat grafting has allowed a shift in paradigm for craniofacial reconstruction by providing a less invasive and…
This article presents the authors’ experience with the use of fat grafting via the Coleman technique, for the adjuvant treatment of facial burn wounds and their sequelae. It demonstrates the…
Reparative, angiogenic, and immunomodulatory properties have been attributed to the cells in the adipose tissue–derived stromal vascular fraction. Because of these characteristics, in the last decade, fat grafting for treatment…
Autologous fat grafting has become more and more popular among plastic surgeons in the last few years due to recent discoveries on the mesenchymal stem cells stored in the harvested…
In Asia, young patients undergo pan-facial fat injection for facial contouring rather than rejuvenation. Although the procedure is widely performed, there is no singular approach that has been shown to…
Autologous fat graft has limitations, especially long-term unpredictability of volume maintenance. The mechanical enrichment of fat graft with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) could guarantee the survival of fat grafts. After…
Fat grafting to the face for volume augmentation, and skin rejuvenation have become a popular procedure. However, the main obstacles to fat grafting include the unpredictable volume maintenance rate and…
The concept of microautologous fat transplantation (MAFT), proposed by Lin and colleagues in 2007, emphasized that the volume of each delivered parcel should be less than 0.01 mL to avoid potential…
In this article the authors introduce a compartment-based fat graft for facial contouring, focusing on the anatomy of temporal region and midface, the 3L3M integrated fat transfer technique, and the…
