Abstract
Complications of autologous fat transfer (injection) include fat tissue embolization from injection in the glabellar and nasal regions, with blindness and central nervous system damage. A rare complication is fat tissue embolization to the lung that, so far, has always been fatal. The author reviews the literature on fat tissue embolization. The arterial and venous anatomy is discussed and the mechanisms of embolization are described. Also presented are measures to use to prevent embolizing of fat tissue while injecting.
