    Abstract:

    Objectlve:To assess the clinical outcome of autologous fat injection in treatment of hemifacial atrophy, so as to search for an ideal treatment of hemifacial atrophy. Methods: Autologous fat granules were obtained by tumescent liposuction. After purification, the fat granules were injected in a multi-strata, multi-tunnel, and multi-spot manner to repair facial introcession abnormality. Patients whose introcession was not improved after the stabilization of the fillings were re-injected with autologous fat granules twice or more until satisfactory outcomes were achieved. Results: All the 7 patients in this study obtained satisfactory outcomes after fat injection and basically reached symmetry. The follow-up result was good after 2 years. Conclusion: Local injection transplantation of autologous fat granules is effective for the treatment of facial depression and hemifacial atrophy, with slight trauma, little complication, and satisfactory outcome.[
