Mastering facial lipofilling
Glayse June Sasaki Favarin
Belvivere Center for Plastic Surgery, Brazil
Introduction:
Facial volume loss has become widely accepted as one of the contributing factors in global facial aging. Many articles
and much more attention has been directed toward techniques aimed at restoring lost volume with lipofilling. Lipofilling is able to
address age-related volume loss, soften facial wrinkles, and improve skin texture. Autologous fat is a biological and durable filler
material that can easily be harvested with low donor-site morbidity in most patients. Besides that fat is an abundant (and renewable!)
source of mesenchymal multi-potent cells.
Methods:
This retrospective chart review evaluated 106 patients who were treated with microfat grafting and intradermal fat grafting
in facial contouring and rejuvenation. Fat harvesting, preparation and injection techniques are described and illustrated by video.
Pretreatment and post-treatment photographs were compared regarding improvement of facial contour, and complications were
recorded.
Results:
The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 2 years. Fifteen percent of the patients had a refill procedure 6 or more
months after the first procedure. The deep central malar, lower lid cheek junction and nasolabial folds are the most commonly
injected areas. Complications included palpable lobules in the nasolabial folds (5%) and fat resorption, which was seen in all patients,
with a clinical range from ±15% in the immobile malar area and chin region to ±50% in the mobile lip area.
Conclusion:
The goal of volume rejuvenation is the modification or elimination of age-specific shadow patterns and restoring the
balance of volume seen in a youthful face. Facial lipofilling has become an important tool in volume replacement for the right patient,
and better techniques have led to more reliable and reproducible long-term outcomes. Although autologous fat injection is associated
with some degree of reabsorption, in our opinion, secondary augmentation at an early date to reaugment areas, where reabsorption
has occurred usually is quite successful.
