Fat Transfer is a procedure that uses one’s own liposuctioned fat from the abdomen, thighs, or other donor sitesand transfers the fat to the area of need. It plumps up sunken facial and provides volume and fullness to lips, back oh hands and feet. Fat Transfer to the face and facial area works best on thin, dry, light-colored skin.
Typical side effects range from temporary stinging, throbbing, or burning sensation. There can also be faint redness, swelling, excess fullness to treated areas. There are small risks of contour irregularities, and infection.
Typically there is no lengthy recovery time needed after treatment.
The best candidates are men and women who are physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in their expectations. Typical patients are 18 or older.
During the procedure Fat is first suctioned from another location, typically the abdomen, thighs or other designated areas. The selected Fat is then cleaned and processed. The Fat is then immediately injected into the desired areas for treatment. Typically two to three treatments are required over a six-month period to correct most dermal depressions.
Usually, the results and improvements with this procedure are progressive. After the first Fat Transfer you may not see much change, but each additional treatment yields more improvements. Rather than getting re-injected every 4 – 6 months, as with Collagen, Fat is front loaded. This means that 2 or 3 treatments are done in a fairly rapid succession, and then no more re-augmentation is done for a year or more.
Typical side effects range from temporary stinging, throbbing, or burning sensation. There can also be faint redness, swelling, excess fullness to treated areas. There are small risks of contour irregularities, and infection.
It is important for any patient to not take any form of Aspirin or Ibuprofen for 48 hours before a Fat Transfer procedure. Before the treatment begins the Physician will apply a topical numbing cream. Typically this is applied 45 minutes prior to the treatment.
After the Fat Transfer Treatment the patient will need to place ice packs on the lips or other treated areas. Massage the treated area every 15 minutes for the first few hours.
