What is Fat Transfer?

Tired of having fillers placed in your face multiple times only to have them resorb once again? Your own fat can be harvested, washed, and re injected into your face and lips. Greater than fifty percent of that fat which is re injected should survive permanently. It should be soft, smooth and will actually improve the quality and texture of the overlying skin. If more fullness is desired, the procedure can be repeated in the future. It is a very cost effective alternative to the repeated injection of fillers throughout the face.

Fat-injection procedure is also known as autologous fat transplantation or micro-lipoinjection. Fat cells are extracted from your abdomen, thighs, buttocks or elsewhere and reinjected beneath the facial skin. Fat can fill in sunken cheeks or lines between the nose and mouth, correct skin depressions, minimize forehead wrinkles or enhance the lips.

Allergic reaction is not a factor for fat because the filler is harvested from your own body. However, there is still a small risk of infection and other infrequent complications.
