Renewed interest in techniques using the patient�??s own fat for cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery has been noted in recent years. The use of fat grafting dates back to 1889 when Van der Muelen described the first use in human autotransplantation, closely followed by Neuber in 1893 that used it to fill a soft depression in the face of a woman. In 1910 Lexer published the first report with regards aesthetic medicine. In these procedures, fat harvested from one part of the body is washed (paying attention not to break it), purified and after transferred to other areas; for example fat obtained from a liposuction can be used for breast augmentation, reshaping, and facial rejuvenation. Many patients are always looking out for the most natural types of treatment they can find and the thought of an invasive cosmetic procedure make often delay or postpone a procedure. Fat grafting is an alternative easy and fast procedure to produce, good results with minimal risks, and lasts a long time, and involves the use of biomaterials mainly. All these factors bring a lot of patients continue to prefer this treatment. Once injected in the specific area that need to be treat, fat offers a matricial support to angiogenesis, stimulates the proliferation of pre-adipocytes. In this way patient can have benefits in case of facial deformities or post- surgical defects as well as to recapturing a youthful appearance, eliminating wrinkles, restoring harmonious volumetric facial and body ratio and regaining the wanted contour. Patient regain self- confidence and assurance just like any other cosmetic procedures but without having scars in a natural way, like it is suppose to be. Of course, not all fat grafting is the same because different problems require different solutions. Based on this, we have methods of fat harvesting, method of cells processing, method of transplantation and method of recipient site. There are many factors to be taken into consideration such as the state of the tissue in the recipient site, possible inflammation or the resorbable fat ratio. However, it has a big potential in vast reconstructive and aesthetic procedures.
