ABSTRACT
Fat transfer or microlipoinjection of autologous fat is a safe, effective method for correcting contour defects that result from aging, trauma, surgery, and various atrophic diseases. Most people have an unlimited source of fat from tissues available for transfer to other areas. The technique for harvesting fat from the donor site and reinjecting it into recipient sites is easily done and easily taught. There is no significant morbidity, and there are no significant complications.
