Correction of facial asymmetry following fat grafting with the application of fat-dissolving injections

Abstract

Autologous fat grafting is a common option for the correction of facial asymmetry. Recently, therapies using injectable substances that promote lipolysis have emerged to reduce undesired fat volume, offering an alternative to surgical removal of adipose tissue. We report an experimental case in which fat-dissolving injections were used to correct facial asymmetry following fat grafting, demonstrating satisfactory results with a minimally invasive procedure.
