Microfat grafting refines fat transplantation by using small fat cell clusters. This technique successfully corrects contour defects and augments facial anatomy without fat cell loss.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Fat tissue is sensitive to damage from mechanical and chemical factors.
  • Traditional fat transplantation methods like bulk injection led to significant volume loss due to fat necrosis.
  • Previous techniques were disappointing, failing to provide lasting aesthetic improvements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the structural microfat grafting technique.
  • To highlight its efficacy in correcting contour irregularities and augmenting facial anatomy.
  • To address the limitations of earlier fat transplantation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Atraumatic harvesting of fat tissue.
  • Meticulous cleansing, preparation, and separation of fat cells.

  • Transplantation of fat in small clusters or 1-2 mm threads.

    • Main Results:

    • Microfat grafting successfully corrects contour problems.
    • The technique prevents resorption of fat cells, ensuring lasting results.
    • Augmentation of normal facial anatomy is achieved without volume loss.

    Conclusions:

    • Structural microfat grafting is a refined technique for fat transplantation.
    • It overcomes the limitations of older methods, offering reliable aesthetic outcomes.
    • This method provides a durable solution for contour correction and facial augmentation.
