Abstract: Autologous fat grafting is among the many procedures used for facial rejuvenation and reconstruction, and its popularity has been increasing in Asia and worldwide. This procedure carries a risk of arterial or venous occlusion, which can lead to serious consequences. Venous embolism following autologous fat grafting is rarely reported. Here, we present a case of superior ophthalmic vein fat embolism and orbital compartment syndrome in a patient who underwent autologous fat grafting. Timely diagnosis, appropriate referral, and comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment are crucial for achieving favorable clinical outcomes.
