The study aimed to find the percentage reduction of fat graft in autologous fat grafting for facial contour deformities with tumescent solution infiltration at recipient site. Methodology: This descriptive case series was held at Plastic Surgery Department from September 1st 2019 to March 1st 2020. Patients with contour deformities requiring fat grafting were included in the study. Amount of fat grafted was measured with ultrasonography on 3rd post-op day, then again at 3 months, to calculate percentage reduction of fat graft and grouped into two categories for the purpose of this study <30% reduction, and >30% reduction. Results: A total of 121 patients were included in this study. 57.02% (n=69) had <30% reduction in fat whereas 42.98%(n=52) had >30% reduction. Conclusion: We concluded that a significant percentage of reduction of fat graft was recorded in autologous fat grafting for facial contour deformities with tumescent solution infiltration at recipient site
