Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Facial aging leads to soft tissue deflation, particularly in the periocular region.
  • Autologous fat transfer is a minimally invasive option for facial rejuvenation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of autologous fat transfer for periocular soft tissue augmentation.
  • To highlight the importance of technique and patient selection in fat grafting outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized autologous fat grafting to address soft tissue volume loss.
  • Emphasized meticulous technique, including small aliquot placement and appropriate reinjection intervals.

Main Results:

  • Autologous fat transfer serves as a valuable adjunct for periocular soft tissue augmentation.
