The technique of autologous fat transplantation (lipofilling) allows to correct congenital or acquired abnormalities of the cutaneous relief. Autologous fat lobules aspired in one site are transplanted by injection in the zone to treat. This technique is performed ambulatory under local anesthesia and it is possible to perform long term correction of dermal or hypodermal atrophy of one to few centimetres.
