    Autologous fat grafting is a standard method for soft tissue augmentation. The method is commonly used for volume restoration of the ageing face. Furthermore, atrophic scars, lipodystrophy and scleroderma en coup de sabre can be treated. Following liposuction, the harvested fat can be reinjected immediately or stored at minus 28 degrees C for at least 2 years. In most cases, several injections at 3 to 4 months intervals are needed for good long-term effects. The procedure is used world-wide with good results and a minimum of side effects.
