We provide a step-by-step technique description of the trans-cervical lipofilling of the base of the tongue (BOT) under local anaesthesia in a case series of three patients.

The procedure was well tolerated; all patients were discharged after 24 hours without any majorcomplications. After six months, all patients had a steady improvement in swallowing. During follow-up, the videofluoroscopic study of deglutition confirmed a sensitive amelioration of the Penetration-Aspiration Score and an empowered base of tongue retropulsion.
