Fat transfer to restore body defects were first reported in 1893 and fat grafting using syringe injection was first published in 1910.
In recent years, studies of fat tissue have shown that fat contains large amounts of stem cells, which are capable of differentiating into all types of body tissue, therefore fat may be considered to provide the basis for tissue regeneration. Following Fat Grafting, permanent volume restoration and local tissue regeneration is expected. Over several months following the procedure, improvement in skin texture, suppleness, colour and also improvement of existing scars is noted.
