Abstract
Three adult patients with long-standing hemifacial atrophy were treated with repeated free-fat injections at 4- to 8-week intervals. The longest follow-up study to date is 18 months, and following the expected postoperative resorption, no further loss of bulk of injected fat has been observed. On palpation, the feel of the fat is normal, and facial expression is also good. The relative ease of this procedure, which does not entail any scarring, appears to justify more widespread use of free-fat injections to restore facial soft-tissue depressions.
