This paper present our four years experience with the treatment by fat injection into the nasolabial folds and facial wrinkles. In the 90 % of our face lift surgery we perform this method. There are many teechniques describing the treatment of the facial atrophic defects with the employment of skin flaps and dermofat flaps. Also there are repleishing material like silicone and collagen that gives variable results. With the new treatment of fat injection we improve different facial and body areas, including acne scars, nasolabial folds, perioral zone and the secondary liposuction depressions. Fat injection used in combination with the face lifting gives the surgeon the possibility of improving facial areas difficult to correct with the common procedure. We consider that the fat injection has won recntly great popularity in the treatment of some soft tissue defects because until now it has been totally innocuos to the patient, adding a very short time to the surgical procedure. The physician´s expreince, the goog technique and the correct patient selection and methodology assist the surgeon to obtain the best results.
