Fat Re-Grafting in Facial Asymmetry: A 2-Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fat redistribution through recycling of previously grafted fat hasn’t been reported. Two facial asymmetry patients are presented with history of fat grafting to the mandibular angle areas. Collected fat from these formerly fat grafted zones and swollen on subsequent extra body weight gain has been re-grafted in the temporal regions for contour enhancement and has retained volume as photographically documented up to 30 months.

Computer assisted surgical designs can help the surgeon achieve facial skeletal symmetry [1]. However, even if skeletal symmetrisation can be achieved, such patients almo...

For successful results, many factors such as retention, texture, color match ...
