Structural Fat Grafting of the Face

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video details the procedure of structural fat grafting in the face. Lidocaine with adrenaline is used as a local anesthetic during fat harvesting and grafting. Small incisions are made for access, with specific equipment like cannulas used for precise infiltration and fat aspiration. Harvested fat is centrifuged to separate it from aqueous components, ensuring purity for injection. The fat is measured and mapped out preoperatively for injection, often into the lips, using small aliquots to ensure symmetry. Monitoring the injected amount is crucial for achieving desired aesthetics, particularly when augmenting the lips.
