Reconstructive Facial Surgery Techniques

One hundred years ago, surgeons used subcutaneous fillers extensively for altering facial and body proportions [ 1 Miller J.J. Popp J.C. Fat hypertrophy after autologous fat transfer. Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg. 2002; 18: 228-231 Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar , 2 Kolle F.S. Plastic and cosmetic surgery. Appleton, New York1911 Google Scholar ]. This practice continued until the 1920s when complications resulting from injected paraffin and other substances became obvious. Aesthetic surgeons, disillusioned with available fillers, generally abandoned the restoration of fullness as a means of rejuvenation after 1920 and began to focus almost entirely on surgical procedures to remove the signs of aging. Advances in autologous fat grafting in the past 2 decades, as well as safer synthetic fillers, give us a chance to reexamine rejuvenation by restoring the fullness of youth.
