Objective:
To discuss the integrated autologous fat graft technique in face recontouring.
Methods:
In this study we treated 83 cases of face recontouring with 3L3M technique (low pressure suction, low speed centrifugation, low volume, multi-plane, multi-tunnel, multi-point injection). Each case was treated 1-3 times and the interval period is 3-6 months. The result was based on comparing the photos taken from pre-operation and post operation, observing the expression recovery, cysts, local absorption, and patients self evaluation.
Results:
Long time follow up showed that fat graft can be alive in the recipient site for long time after 1-3 times autologous fat injection. More than 73.5% patients were satisfactory with the curative effect while less than 4.8% patients were unsatisfactory.
Conclusion:
3L3M integrated fat graft technique is an effective and safe treatment in face recontouring.
