Abstract
We used this procedure of fat injection to correct soft tissue defects, using the patient's own fatty tissue obtained by liposuction. We show the results of long-term follow up from 1984 to 1994. The main idea was to find a successful procedure in order to attain good specimen graft and long-term results. It was not an easy goal because of the high reabsortion of fatty tissue.
