Abstract
Depending on the fat graft required, certain modifications are necessary during the fat preparation, processing, and injection. This is especially true in the facial region, where the use of different sizes of fat grafts and the combination of deep injections with a cannula and superficial injections with a needle have improved results—not only in correcting volume depletions but in cases of fine remodeling, as well.
