Abstract
This autologous fat graft respects Coleman's procedure principles and preserves the histological structure. This technique is well adapted for facial defects, especially for the lips. It is more precise because the fat deposits are thinner. It does not require any skin incision. It proved to be less painful for our patients, and there was less postoperative edema than with the reference technique. Micro re-injection broadens the indications of autologous fat tissue graft in the fields of plastic (lip, eyelids) and reconstructive (retractile scar) surgery.
