Autologous fat grafting has many clinical applications, and its use in Plastic Surgery is increasing. Currently, autologous fat grafts are used in breast surgery, facial rejuvenation, and facial lipoatrophy secondary to antiretroviral therapy and as a treatment for liposuction sequelae, buttock augmentation, and congenital facial hemiatrophy. Their use is expanding rapidly, and their applications in other fields are an ever growing interest within the Plastic Surgery community. ⋯ Autologous fat grafting is a good method for correction of retracted or sunken scars instead of the traditional scar surgical excision.
