Facial volume loss is a key aspect of aging. This article details a surgeon

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Rejuvenation
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Facial volume loss is a significant factor in overall facial aging.
  • Changes in bone, muscle, fat, and skin contribute more to aging than gravity.
  • Autologous fat transfer is a common method for facial volume restoration, despite some ongoing debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a surgeon's successful philosophy and technique for facial fat grafting.
  • To provide detailed insights into preparation, harvesting, processing, and injection methods.
  • To organize injection techniques by facial region based on extensive clinical experience.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of a specific surgeon's fat grafting protocol.
  • Emphasis on preparation, harvesting, and processing of autologous fat.
