Abstract Background: Autologous fat grafting is a useful supplement to facelift surgery that helps to combat age-related volume loss of facial structures. Despite the widespread prevalence of combined facelift and fat-grafting, significant procedural variation exists between providers. Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to study the efficacy and complication rates of facelift with lipofilling compared with facelift alone. Methods: A systematic review of the Cochrane Library and MEDLINE databases as completed was undertaken to identify all clinical reports of fat grafting combined with facelift surgery based on the following key terms: (“fat grafting” OR “lipotransfer” OR “lipofilling” OR “fat transfer”) AND (“facelift” OR “rhytidectomy” OR “SMASectomy” OR “facial rejuvenation”). Data on techniques, outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction were collected.
