Fat Transfer
Fat is an essential part of the youthful face. Aging, individual diet and exercise regimen can cause people to develop a thinner face, which can appear aged. Autologous fat transplantation (fat transfer) adds volume to the areas of loss by using the patient’s own fat. The benefit of using ones own fat is that there is no chance of allergy or rejection.
This procedure is perfomed with local anesthesia to the area of the face and the area where the fat is harvested (typically the abdomen or thigh). The fat then processed to remove excess fluid and then reinjected to the area of concern to improve contours, hollows and asymmetry.
