Autologous Fat Grafting For Facial Rejuvenation

Fat grafting is a technique where the harvested adipose tissue is injected into various compartments underneath the skin. The term autologous fat grafting refers to the procedure where the source of fat is the same person on whom it is to be used. For many years this technique has been used for a variety of different purposes. Autologous adipose tissue is considered by many to be an ideal filler material for facial rejuvenation, as it represents one of the most biocompatible dermal fillers with low allergenicity, produces a soft and natural result, and may have semi-permanent to permanent effects. This article is focused on the utility of this procedure for facial rejuvenation.
