Abstract

The use of autologous fat with microlipoinjection is one of soft tissue augmentation and recently has been popular with the advent of tumescent liposuction. We performed this method successfully in 41 patients with atrophic, depressive change in the hands as a sequelae of Hansen's disease. Microlipoinjection using autologous fat has proven to be a safe and effective procedure for correcting tissue defects without significant complications.
