Fat transplantation.
Fat transplantation has been used by physicians for over 100 years; however, this technique has been refined considerably since the development of liposuction in the late 1970s. Fat transplantation can be used for augmentation of subcutaneous defects throughout the body. It continues to be the safest and most versatile form of soft tissue augmentation.
