Facial recontouring with fat grafting

P F Fournier. Dermatol Clin. 1990 Jul.

Abstract

Face lifting fails to correct many aging changes because it does not restore lost tissues but merely removes excess tissue. Volume expansion of involuted tissues must be accomplished to properly rejuvenate the face. Fat grafting can be used to fill involuted facial tissues. This can be accomplished by transfer of cylinders of fat. Cellular micro-implants can also be used as autologous grafts.
