One of the major advances in current techniques for surgical rejuvenation of the aging face is the combination of volumetric enhancement in conjunction with facial fat repositioning via the SMAS. Volume addition provides for the correction of facial deflation as well as restoring the volumetric highlights seen in the youthful face, and in conjunction with fat repositioning provides the surgeon with the consistent ability to create and restore facial shape. This video demonstrates the use of autologous fat injection placed at the initial stage of a facelift to restore volumetric highlights and correct deflation. The technical nuances of injection and patient safety are emphasized.
