Abstract

Autologous lipotransfer provides an effective means of volume restoration for facial rejuvenation. The upper one-third of the face falls victim to age-related volume depletion and can be a target for fat transfer. This article describes the senior author's technique of fat transfer in some of the specific anatomic subunits of the upper face.
