Abstract
The history of autologous fat augmentation gives insight into the development of fat transfer for both cosmetic and non-cosmetic problems. Transplantation of pieces of fat and occasionally diced pieces of fat advanced to removal of small segments of fat by liposuction after the development of technique by Fischer and Fischer reported in 1975. The progression of techniques in fat transfer was because of this innovation and non-autologous fat transfer is a common technique in facial rejuvenation, repair of defects and deficits, and more recently, for nonaesthetic purposes including neurosurgical and orthopedic.
