CLINICAL FEATURES OF LIPOFILING FOR VARIOUS DEFORMATIONS OF THE FACIAL REGION

Abstract

Autotransplantation of adipose tissue (lipofilling) is a technique for improving facial aesthetics and in recent years has been actively used in addition to reconstructive operations in cranio-maxillofacial surgery.

For the first time, autologous adipose tissue transplantation was performed by Neuber G.A. open access. Later, Hollander E., Neuhof H. and Joseph continued to deal with the use of lipofilling in maxillofacial surgery. This technique has been actively used to treat congenital anomalies, concomitant injuries, as well as after tumor resections and ablative surgery. Illouz Y.G. and Fournier P.F. presented closed liposuction and the vacuum pump technique, and the autotransplantation itself was called “lipofilling”.
