Face rejuvenation with rice-grain-sized fat implants: Fischer's technique

Abstract

Augmentation and restoration of different parts of the body has been for centuries the cosmetic surgeons' primary goal. Various alloplastic, allogenic and xenograft materials have been used with this intent. The perfect filler has not been invented yet but I believe that fat is the best material we can use. No allergic reaction has ever been reported in the literature with the use of autologous fat. Facial enhancement for young women or rejuvenation for elder women with rice-grain-sized fat parcels is, according to me, one of the greatest inventions of the century. Along with the aging process goes the loss of fat and consequently the texture of face skin itself. It is only in this way that we are able to restore vitality and new skin texture to an elderly looking face. © Springer-Verlag 2008.
