Autologous fat grafting (AFG) is central to modern facial rejuvenation and reconstruction, valued for its biocompatibility, low donor-site morbidity, and stem-cell-mediated regenerative potential.

as people age, fat loss in specific fat compartments is a major contributor to structural aging of the face. Autologous fat grafting is safe, abundant, readily available, and completely biocompatible, which makes it the preferred soft-tissue filler in the correction of facial atrophy. The addition of volume through fat grafting gives an aging face a more youthful, healthy, and aesthetic appearance.

facial fat grafting can be performed with a more standardized technique based on many valid scientific studies with good and consistent results by many experienced surgeons for facial rejuvenation, contouring, and regenerative surgery.

The opportunity exists to individualize the use of autologous fat grafting with the various subtypes of fat for the targeted correction of aging in different anatomic areas of the face. Fat grafting has become a powerful tool that has revolutionized facial rejuvenation, and developing precise, individualized plans for autologous fat grafting for each patient is an important advancement in the evolution of facial rejuvenation.
