Facial recontouring with autogenous fat

Facial Plast Surg. 2004 May;20(2):145-7. doi: 10.1055/s-2004-861755.

Abstract

Facial fat deflation represents a significant component of facial aging. We discuss and detail preoperative patient selection, fat transfer technique, and potential pitfalls. Fat transfer can reliably improve facial fat deflation and improve facial appearance in the long-term.
