Brief Summary  

 Injuries to the maxillofacial region are increasing in frequency and severity because of the heavy reliance on road transportation and the increasing socio-economic activities of the population with road crashes being predominant cause of maxillofacial trauma.These injuries have devastating consequences in the quality of life of the injured. With this background, the  study is planned to exploit the newer concepts of autologous fat transfer in trauma cases for reconstruction of facial defects.Facial rejuvenation with autologous fat has the advantage of replacing or augmenting tissue with like tissue.By conducting an evidence-based review, this report will offer a graded summary of the evidence to help optimize the clinical use of fat grafts.Overall, complication rates associated with fat grafting are not unduly high, considering the level of invasiveness of the procedure. Fat grafting can be considered a safe method of augmentation and correction of defects associated with various medical conditions.We hypothesize that autologous fat grafting is a promising procedure to recreate the lost soft tissue defect of post traumatic asymmetric face and improve themorbidity for the patient and improve the quality of life for the patient.
