Fat Transfer for Facial Rejuvenation
Fat Transfer for Facial Rejuvenation
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is a cosmetic procedure that uses your own body fat to enhance and restore facial features. It addresses various age-related concerns and can be used to:
- Add volume: plump thin lips, fill in wrinkles and folds around the mouth and eyes, enhance cheekbones, and improve the definition of the jawline and chin. Correct contour irregularities - address under-eye hollows, define the temples, and create a more balanced facial structure.
Procedure Overview
- Fat Harvesting: Liposuction is performed to remove fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks.
- Fat Processing: The extracted fat is purified and prepared for injection.
- Fat Injection: The processed fat is carefully injected into targeted areas using a small cannula or needle.
- Recovery: The procedure typically takes 1-3 hours and can be performed under local or general anesthesia.
Important Considerations!
- Natural-looking results: Uses your own tissue, offering a smoother, more natural appearance compared to synthetic fillers.
- Long-lasting effects: While some initial volume loss is expected, the surviving fat cells can provide long-lasting results, depending on individual factors.
- Potential for tissue regeneration: May stimulate collagen production, further enhancing skin texture and elasticity.
Important Considerations
- Maintaining a stable weight is crucial to maximize the longevity of the results.
- Fat transfer is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle or other anti-aging measures.
- Longevity of the fat transfer is not 0 predictable
