**5. Post-surgical care/complications**

In a recent systematic analysis, Gornitsky et al. describe 2.2% complications in facial fat transfer procedures, with asymmetry being the most common. Other complications are skin irregularities, prolonged edema, hypertrophy, fat necrosis, infection, telangiectasia, and acne reactivation [33].

Cases of emboli following autologous fat grafting to the glabella and nose have been attributed to retrograde arterial injection, facilitated by the abundant vascular supply in these regions; notably, the frontal and dorsal nasal arteries that are supplied by the ophthalmic artery [34].

In our experience, we have found a reabsorption percentage of 49% of the injected volume. We have concluded that when the results are not favorable, the volume of fat calculated and injected was insufficient or to other particularities that increase reabsorption in the specific area. These situations may be resolved with secondary or re-touch procedures.

Most parents reported feeling happier with their children's facial appearance. An important factor to consider is the variability of reabsorption of the injected fat. However, if necessary, the fat injection can be repeated as an isolated procedure.
