Constantly refined over the centuries, due to the safety performance, won great popularity among surgeons not only to improve the beauty, but also the reconstruction (eg. breasts) after surgery. Initially it was used for filling the individual lines and wrinkles, it won the trust of not only doctors, but also women, often undergoing breast augmentation surgery, lips, and even the buttocks. An additional advantage is ridding of excess unwanted fat, and the only downside of this procedure is about a two-week period of convalescence, and in some cases the need for repeat surgery. Despite this, it is a treatment that gives long-lasting, natural and satisfactory results. Key words: autologous fat transfer, fat tissue, fillers |
