Facial Fat Grafting: Success and Complications Thursday, October 15 Thu, Oct 15 1:30-3:00 p.m. CDT
Autologous fat grafting has become an essential adjunct in facial rejuvenation and reconstruction, offering natural volume restoration and potential regenerative effects. Achieving consistent outcomes requires careful attention to technique and a detailed understanding of facial fat compartment anatomy. This panel will review principles of fat harvesting, processing, and injection, while emphasizing how anatomical knowledge guides safe and effective volume restoration and helps minimize complications.
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:
Describe the key principles of harvesting, processing, and placement that influence fat graft survival in facial procedures.
Recognize the anatomical organization of facial fat compartments and explain how this knowledge guides precise fat graft placement.
Identify common complications associated with facial fat grafting, including contour irregularities, overcorrection, and vascular events.
Apply patient selection, anatomical planning, and injection strategies to maximize safety, graft retention, and aesthetic outcomes.
