Abstract:

Adipose tissue transplantation is one of the minimally invasive reconstructive cosmetic procedures used in patients with tissue loss or impaired body contours following diseases, injuries, congenital defects or aging. Transplantation is associated with a complex of biological processes including neoangiogenesis for maintaining of vital activity of fat cells. This review is devoted to the problem of fat cells in plastic surgery, description of their role and capabilities for solving the problems of aesthetic medicine. Autologous transplantation of fat cells to rejuvenate the face, hands, for rhinoplasty, breast and buttocks correction is discussed in the article. Possible complications associated with transplantation of adipocytes are under special attention.
