Abstract: Objection To explore the application of autologous fat grafting in the augmentation of temporal depression. Methods Autologous fat grafting technique of 3L3M was performed to 36 patients with temporal depression adopting low-pressure liposuction, low-speed centrifuge, multi-points, multi-tunnels, multi-layers and low-amounts injection (3L3M).①The temple area was injected through subcutaneous layer, superficial fascia layer and muscle layer. ②The frontal area was injected through subcutaneous layer and subfrontalis layer.③Orbital outer area was injected through subcutaneous layer with little fat. Results The apperence of all 36 patients was improved clearly after autologous fat grafting. All the patients were followed up for three months to two years, the appearance of each area of temple augmented were satisfied and the absorbtion of the grafted fat was low. The satisfaction rates of patient, plastic surgeon and the third person were 83.3%, 88.9%and 86.1%respectively. Conclusion The 3L3M autologous fat grafting technique is effective in the augmentation of temporal depression.
