Why is it important?
Clinicians are facing an increasing trend toward nonsurgical nose reshaping using synthetic injec- tables, mainly for patients who refuse standard rhinopla- sties. Autologous fat grafting is a safer and convenient alternative to permanent or semipermanent injectables due to better results as well as fewer and milder side effects.
Perspectives
Autologous fat grafting is an effective and reliable technique for aesthetic and reconstructive nose reshaping for patients who refuse surgical treatments. Although optimal results can be achieved with this tech- nique, they are not comparable with those obtained by surgical rhinoplasties, and this is an important issue to discuss with the prospective patient.
