Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We used this procedure of fat injection to correct soft tissue defects, using the patient's own fatty tissue obtained by liposuction. We show the results of long-term follow up from 1984 to 1994. The main idea was to find a successful procedure in order to attain good specimen graft and long-term results. It was not an easy goal because of the high reabsortion of fatty tissue.
