Facial scars are common, and patients are requesting more interventions to improve the appearance of their scars and improve any contour deformity associated with the scars. Various treatment modalities have been described to improve the appearance of the scars. The Sterimedix GTI cannula® (Amar), designed by a leading plastic surgeon in the field of fat transfer for restoration of facial volume and rejuvenation, has recently been introduced to the market. Excellent patient satisfaction following the procedure and ease for the operator were achieved in undertaking the process of subcision and fat/filler transfer for volume restoration.
