Introduction: Autologous fat grafting for volume augmentation in soft tissues has grown in popularity in the paediatric plastic surgery community, despite a lack of quantifiable evidence of graft survival and predictable outcomes for child patients. The objective of this study is to quantify, through an objective method, the rate of survival of fat grafting in children's reconstructive surgery.
Methods: Clinical evaluation of all children was performed under standardised conditions in a prospective fashion with a 1-year follow-up.
