Abstract
Dermis fat grafts for body contouring have been used for over a century and extensively reported and researched, but since the advent of the more reliable silicone implants they have been dropped and neglected. As a consequence of the present controversy surrounding silicone breast implants, women are inquiring about augmentation with their own tissues. Healthy patients with good vascularity are the best candidates. These grafts are removed from the lower abdomen and placed with the dermis side facing the muscle, ‘take’ and then lose about 30 to 50% of their initial volume. Thirty-six cases were performed with this technique, and a two-and-a-half year follow-up with few complications and a high level of satisfaction is reported.
