The autologous fat grafting technique is a new method, and clinical experience was increased over the past 10–15 years. Adipose tissue is a biologically active and important tissue and can help drive the complex hair growth cycle. Surgeons have previously reported that autologous fat not only have a positive affect for reconstructive volume and esthetics after transplant but can also have positive skin and hair changes post-transplantation. In this study, lipoaspiration of adipose was performed by cannula and scalp injection was done. In this case report, the authors report that scalp injection of adipose tissue has a positive effect on a patient with alopecia after trauma. The findings suggest adipose tissue can be a promising alternative method to treating men and women alopecia.Keywords: alopecia, adipose, trauma, transplantation
