Complementary Fat Grafting is a book/DVD set. It is a thoroughly illustrated "how-to" guide to facial fat transfer, a new facial rejuvenation procedure that allows the surgeon to sculpt the face and restore it to its natural beauty.

Features:

• A stepwise approach to performing the procedure, from preoperative marking and selection of donor site to harvesting, processing, and full facial infiltration. Technical details are enumerated for every major area of donor harvesting, including lower abdomen; inner, anterior, and outer thigh; hips; waist roll; triceps; and inner knee
• Lucid, full-color, step-by-step illustrations and photographs that demonstrate the precise recommended volumes, order of infiltration, and bony landmarks
• Reduction of the procedure to three distinct levels---volumetric fountation, refinements, and advanced techniques--so that a beginning surgeon can augment the face based on empirical volume and then process toward mastery of additional refinements and advanced techniques based on an acquired artistic eye and accrued experience
• Extensive video footage with two full-length, narrated, menu/sub-menu DVDs, with 15 separate videos that cover marking the patient, selecting the donor site, site-specific donor harvesting (lower abdomen; inner, anterior, outer thigh; lateral waist; buttock; and triceps), processing the fat, and stepwixe fat infiltration. Additional topics include advanced techniques for infiltration, use of a skull model to demonstrate bony landmarks used during infiltration, correction of the negative-vector eye, and more
• Systematic identification and management of complications
• Case studies that demonstrate how to implement the complementary approach, i.e., how to combine fat grafting with alloplastic implants, blepharoplasty, and facelifting when indicated
