Facial Contouring and Rejuvenation with the Use of Fat Injection

Abstract

Aim: Reversing the effects of facial aging is achieved through a combination of the best techniques. Minimizing the appearance of fine wrinkles is an important part of treatment, which can include skin resurfacing, intradermal filling injections, or a combination of the two. The search for the ideal filling material continues, but intradermal fat injections can be a cheap and safe alternative to classic intradermal fillers. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, validity, and reliability of micrograft, nanofat graft, sharp needle intradermal fat grafting (SNIF) technique. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of 13 consecutive patients treated over 3 years were reviewed to evaluate the results of the technique including panfacial rejuvenation, contouring, augmentation with fat injection, and its complications. Results: The results were evaluated by clinical examination and patient photographs. Aesthetically good healing was achieved using microfat graft, nanofat graft, sharp needle emulsified fat with intradermal injection techniques, the results lasted more than 1 year, which exceeded the expected time for absorbable dermal fillers (typically 3 to 6 months). No major complications were encountered; the most common minor complications were bruising and swelling. Conclusion: Microfat and nanofat grafts, SNIF, are a safe and effective alternative to conventional absorbable dermal fillers for patients who can accept minor discomfort from donor site fat harvesting. Fat harvesting and injection techniques should be done precisely to achieve proper results and prevent complications
