In the past, considered controversial, due to the reabsorption of the material. At present, its useful life has been optimized, obtaining lasting results in various pathologies. CONCLUSIONS: its use is highly successful due to the technological advance that is currently possessed. Its application is extensive, being effective in correcting facial deformities or asymmetries. The stages of the surgical procedure consist of preoperative evaluation, fat extraction, fat processing, design realization, lipoinfiltration and modeling. The most frequent facial areas used for its application are the cheeks, the nasolabial folds, the chin, the jaw, and the upper and lower lip.
