Abstract

Lipofilling has become a very important tool in plastic surgery today, since the first experience of autologous fat graft described more than one hundred years ago. Technical developments have led to a more delicate procedure called microlipofilling, in which thin cannulas or needles are used. A frequently discussed technical difficulty is how to inject with a small cannula the fat collected with a larger one. The authors describe their personal maneuver to resolve the above mentioned problem.
