Open Label, Multi-Center Study, Evaluating the Effect of Adipose Tissue Processed With the SyntrFuge™ System for Facial Fat Grafting

Study Overview
=================
Brief 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.
