Introduction: The efficacy and safety of autologous fat grafting for use in oncology patients are controversial. Patients with head and neck cancer have complex anatomy and require reconstructive repair of the head and neck after comprehensive treatment. The limited additional aesthetic and functional studies on the use of autologous fat fillers in patients with head and neck cancer are unclear. This study systematically evaluates the additional function of autologous fat fillers in the head and neck and systematically reviews issues related to autologous fat grafting after comprehensive head and neck cancer treatment, including current indications, techniques, potential complications, graft survival, and patient satisfaction. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed using PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science (last accessed on January 9, 2023). Results: A total of 249 cases of autologous fat fillers in patients with head and neck cancer were reported in 10 clinical publications. Observations were based mainly on subjective physician and patient evaluation indicators, and all studies reported the beneficial effects of autologous fat fillers on aesthetics and function after treatment for head and neck cancer. Conclusions: Autologous fat fillers are effective in improving the aesthetics and function of head and neck cancer, and due to the limitations of the original study, future studies with large samples are needed to support this.
