【Abstract】 Objective To review the progress of autologous fat grafting of the face and outline different arguments in this field. Methods Recent literature concerning autologous fat grafting of the face was reviewed and analyzed. Results The applications and techniques for autologous fat grafting have been matured increasingly. It not only can adjust the proportion of facial contours, restore tissue volume, but also can improve the local skin texture. Reliable clinical results have achieved in facial augmentation and rejuvenation. Although there are arguments about donor site, harvesting technique, processing technique, and grafting technique, the basic principle is the same. Conclusion From the perspective of evidence-based medicine, clinicians are rich in clinical experience, but objective evidence is insufficient. So further researches should be carried to look for scientific evidences.
