What We Know About Facial Volume Restoration with Autogenous Fat
Abstract
Facial rejuvenation involves a careful analysis of a patient's anatomic changes that are secondary to aging and then the application of several methods, tools, and technologies to reverse those changes. A central component of facial aging is the changes seen in facial soft tissue volume that occurs with atrophy and malpositioning of normal facial volume through several underlying aging processes. Although many surgical and nonsurgical interventions are available to remedy many of the sequela of aging, the restoration of volume is one of the most important goals that has to be engaged. Over the years, autogenous fat has emerged as one of the safer and reliable methods to restore the diminished volume of the aging face. The purpose of this manuscript is to relate some of the history, clinical practices, research, and current literature supporting the use of autologous fat in facial rejuvenation.
