Autologous fat tissue transfer (eBook)

This book describes the latest autologous fat transfer techniques used in connection with wrinkles, breast augmentation, breast reconstruction after ablation, middle face augmentation, scars, chronic wounds, gluteal augmentation and rejuvenation of the hand. All autologous fat transfer techniques, such as BEAULI, Coleman, Shippert, and Khouri, are explained with regard to successful transplantation and reinjection.

Further, the book includes chapters on patient prerequisites, patient education, treatment documentation, and objective post-treatment assessment of the outcome using volumetric documentation. The practical presentation of the information, together with a wealth of illustrations, makes this book a valuable guide for plastic and aesthetic surgeons, dermatologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, gynecologists and all other specialists in aesthetic surgery who offer reconstructive or aesthetic autologous treatments.
