Abstract
- Autologous fat injection for soft tissue augmentation in the face has been claimed to be a safe procedure. However, there are several case reports where patients suffered from various neurologic deficits following fat injections. We report a patient who suffered from cerebral infarction after fat injections into the face. We assume that fragments of fat reach cerebral arteries by reversed flow through the branches of the carotid arteries caused by local increase in pressure in highly vascularized tissue.
