open label, multi-center study, evaluating the effect of adipose tissue processed with the syntrfuge™ system for facial fat grafting

Conditions: Facial Atrophy and Loss of Contour

Summary: this is an open label multi-center study with the aim of evaluating the efficacy of adipose tissue processed with the syntrfuge™ system in facial aesthetics and contouring. patients will be enrolled to the treatment group with adipose tissue processed with the syntrfuge™ system followed by an injection of autologous microsized adipose tissue in the treatment sites.
