Periocular autologous fat transfer.
Autologous fat transfer is a useful adjunct to augment facial soft tissue deflation in the periocular region. With meticulous technique, small aliquot placement, and reinjection at appropriate intervals, fat makes an excellent adjunct to the management of the aging face, and compliments other facial rejuvenation techniques. Appropriate counseling, realistic expectations, and meticulous technique make fat transfer an effective method of soft tissue augmentation.
