ABSTRACT
Plastic surgeons can improve contour and volume of the facial soft tissues and also can augment areas of the face where the bones are not sufficiently prominent utilizing autologous fat grafts.
In our routine work of the augmentation of facial contour and volume, we utilize autologous fat grafts. In selected cases, we combine implants with autologous grafts. In this article, we will discuss mainly the utilization of autologous grafts. The tissues that we have used are fat fascia and cartilage grafts. In the last 21 years, we have operated on 3568 patients utilizing fat grafts either for reconstructive surgery or aesthetic surgery.
