title: Autogenous fat grafting by injection.
abstract: We describe our technique of fat grafting by injection for the repair of facial contour deformities. The technique involves removal of fat by liposuction, treatment with insulin, and then injection into the area of contour deformity. The efficacy of insulin treatment remains unproven. Pre and post injected fat is examined histologically.
