Abstract [eng] This thesis investigates the multifaceted benefits and methodologies of lipofilling for facial reconstruction, emphasizing its psychological and aesthetic impacts. It delves into the technical aspects of fat harvesting, processing, and reinjection, exploring how these factors influence graft survival and integration. Additionally, the thesis examines the psychological uplift associated with enhanced facial aesthetics, such as increased self-esteem and improved social interactions, which significantly contribute to a patient's quality of life. By synthesizing clinical case studies and current research, the analysis extends to ethical considerations, highlighting the need for sensitive clinical practices that align with patient autonomy and address societal beauty standards. This comprehensive exploration not only reaffirms the efficacy of lipofilling as a reconstructive tool but also emphasizes its role in improving psychological well-being, offering a substantive contribution to both medical practices and ethical discourse in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
