Abstract

Since Coleman1 first introduced the use of free flat graft to improve aesthetic contour in the face this technique is widely adopted. The authors reports their experience with a closed loop system technique. The main advantages of such technique are represented by no post treatment infections rate, less invasivity due to smaller needle used both for the graft and the fill and moreover no centrifugation of the grafting is required. Goisis’ technique results less invasive with no hematomas, minor algic symptoms, overall a better patients’ compliance.

Keywords:

graft, aesthetic, closed loop system technique.
