Abstract
We present a clinical long-term follow-up of our autologous fat transplantation patients. Our study group consists of 43 patients followed over 3–48 months (mean 26 months). Cosmetic defects treated include linear morphea, expression lines, acne scars, discoid lupus erythematosus scars, and post-traumatic scarring. Postoperative complications were rare and short term. We conclude that autologous fat transplantation is a safe and effective procedure. Fat graft longevity is examined in relation to the cosmetic defect treated, the recipient site, and the donor site.
