Autologous fat injection and collagen impantation for the correction of facial atroply / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

We present our experience with autologous fat injection and collager implantation in the treatment of facial atrophy. The surgical teclinigues are described for injecting the colagen into the nasolabial fold and collecting fat from the lower abdomen and then injecting the fat into the depressed site on the face. There were no serious complications without slowly progressive, volume reduction. We think that, these techniques could have a plae in the treatment of problems relatcd to facial depression. However, a longer follow-ups and more clinical experiences will be needed in order to reach some definite conclusions.
