Although significant progress has been made in recent years in plastic and reconstructive surgery procedures, there are still many issues to be solved. Thus, autologous fat transplantation is one of the promising treatments for soft tissue augmentation and facial rejuvenation, due to the lack of incisional scarring and complications associated with foreign materials. However, unpredictable problems and a low rate of graft survival due to partial necrosis occur. Recent research has led to the development of new adipose tissue transplantation techniques, with promising results, without establishing a standard protocol.
