“…Feiner 21 suggested that the 18-gauge needle in the case of Gleeson et al 20 may have lacerated a vein in the cheek and that a safer approach would have been the initial use of a V-tip Toledo cannula for undermining, followed by fat transfer through a blunt cannula. He proposed the addition of some tumescent or volumizing solution, which would avoid inadvertent intravascular filler injection.…”

Complications of autologous fat transfer (injection) include fat tissue embolization from injection in the glabellar and nasal regions, with blindness and central nervous system damage. A rare complication is fat tissue embolization to the lung that, so far, has always been fatal. The author reviews the literature on fat tissue embolization. The arterial and venous anatomy is discussed and the mechanisms of embolization are described. Also presented are measures to use to prevent embolizing of fat tissue while injecting.

Complications of autologous fat transfer (injection) include fat tissue embolization from injection in the glabellar and nasal regions. A rare complication is fat tissue e mbolization to the lung. The author reviews the literature of fat tissue embolization and reports a new case of embolization to the lung from fat transfer to the buttocks. The arterial and venous anatomy is discussed and the mechanisms of embolization are described.
