Abstract

Lipofilling is not frequently used for acne scars but in particular subsets of acne scars autologous fat may be the optimal choice. Typically acne scars require more than one treatment modality, such as lasers and lipofilling injections. Frequently several autologous fat injection sessions are needed. As with many scar revision procedures, results are commonly imperfect that may conflict with patient expectations. The author reviews the nature and types of acne scars and briefly outlines the integration of other treatment modalities into an overall program. Subcision is elucidated as an important adjunctive approach to autologous fat injection for acne scars.
