Abstract

Introduction/aims: The Coleman fat transfer is an atraumatic method of autologous fat harvesting that aims to maximize structural integrity at the recipient site. Routine use of Coleman fat transfer in patients with temporal hollowing post cranioplasty for soft tissue augmentation has not been widely described. Individuals can exhibit temporal hollowing secondary to muscle atrophy (temporalis). Temporalis atrophy can often occur after neurosurgical intervention, and subsequently can arise many years after fixation of a cranioplasty plate. Current alternatives include temporal implants within the subfascial plane, dermal grafts and bone cement.
