Abstract

ABSTRACT

Facial fat deflation represents a significant component of facial aging. We discuss and detail preoperative patient selection, fat transfer technique, and potential pitfalls. Fat transfer can reliably improve facial fat deflation and improve facial appearance in the long-term.

KEYWORDS
