Fat Transfer Surgery

As people fight the aging process, each year, they begin to see their face lose volume. This happens because there is a loss of tissue, which makes the skin appear more lax as it lays on the bone. The result is a face that looks more aged and has wrinkles and creases. The good news is that this can be addressed through a simple procedure of transferring fat to the face.

With this procedure, fat is obtained, either while conducting a liposuction procedure or through a process of tissue grafting. The fat is then injected into the areas of the face that need rejuvenating and enhancement, such as the lips, brows, and folds around the nose, chin, and neck. This is also an ideal procedure for individuals with deformities, because the fat fills in the sunken area and lifts the skin up off the bone, adding more contour and volume to the area. The procedure makes a cost-efficient solution for anyone who is already having a fat removal procedure done, or other facial surgery.

Recovery time is roughly 1-2 weeks, and the results can last 3-5 years. This is a safe procedure that addresses the specific problem areas that help age the face.
