Initially, it was performed by using microcannulas and small 5- and 10-ml syringes. In the past 25 years, several different techniques of li- poinjection have been developed to correct various prob- lems such as those involving the buttocks (augmentation and reshaping), trochanteric depressions, breast augmen- tation, scar depressions, thighs and legs (calf and ankle augmentation), small wrinkles and depressions of the face (Romberg’s disease), the nasolabial fold, the upper outer breast quadrant, and liposuction sequelae [4–8]. In 1989, the senior author (LHP) started introducing autologous fat to different anatomic areas such as the buttocks, the trochanteric regions, and the inner aspect of Fig. 1 Marking of the areas to be liposuctioned and lipoinjected the thighs [9].

Abstract Objectives: Demonstration of Anasolabial folds Lipo filling technique with micro fat. Design: Interventional, longitudinal, non-controlled prospective and trial study. Setting: The study was performed at an outpatient level in a Clinic of Criciúma [SC], Brazil. Participants: In this study 47 NLF fillings were made using micro fat from April 2014 to April 2016. 42 female and 5 male patients were tested, in which 12 cases facial lift was done simultaneously with Lipografting. Intervention: The harvest was made with Cannula’s of 2 mm in diameter with multiple sharpen holes of 1mm. The fat was prepared by washing with saline solution in a nylon sterile fine mesh for the removal of clots, debris and oil. The application of Lipo grafting was done with Micro cannula’s of 0.7 and 0.9 mm holes in the edge [Tulip medical], as illustrated in [Figure 1]. The deep filling was carried out with the 9 mm cannula in the medial portion of the NLF; followed by a Subcision right below the dermis in all NLF extension, associated with micro fat grafting using a Micro cannula of 0.7 mm.

Initially approved for the treatment of HIV-associated lipoatrophy, their stimulation of collagen synthesis leads to a filling effect with long-lasting results. As such, they can be used for numerous cosmetic purposes including wrinkles, scars, and body contouring.
