[Microfat transfer in cosmetic facial procedures].
Loss of volume in the soft tissues of the face is considered to be an important cause of facial ageing. This volume loss can be compensated by microfattransfer. This technique offers a natural and long-lasting effect. Fat is harvested with liposuction and after centrifugation it is injected into the target areas in the face using small blunt cannulas. The goal is to place the fat in the desired place in such a way that the fat will survive and become integrated in the acceptor tissue. Microfattransfer can be combined with other cosmetic facial procedures such as blepharoplasties and facelifts. Although fatgrafting is a safe technique, complications may occur. These are mostly related to technique and amount of fat injected. Microfattransfer is a useful adjunctive procedure in maxillofacial surgery. Because only 40-50% of the result of microfattransfer is permanent touching up is often necessary. Microfattransfer should be considered as a staged treatment modality.
