As we grow older, our skin begins to lose the natural volume and elasticity that we were born with. The resulting sagginess can cause the skin to take on an aged appearance. With a professional facial fat transfer, you can restore the former vivacity of your skin and regain a youthful glow.
What is a facial fat transfer?
A fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a procedure performed by a professional plastic surgeon that removes fat from one area of the body and relocates it to another section. The excess fat is used to rejuvenate areas of the face that have become creased and lined over time by visibly restoring the skin’s volume. Facial fat transfers are commonly used to renew nasal labial folds, marionette lines, crow’s feet, and more.
How do facial fat transfers work?
A fat transfer involves the gentle liposuction of excess fat from another area of the body. The fat is then isolated and injected into the facial region through a miniscule incision. The process only utilizes fat micro-droplets, allowing for a higher level of accuracy and precision. Results can appear in as little as three weeks and last for several years.
What are the benefits of a facial fat transfer?
When your skin begins to age, the wear and tear causes lines, creasing, and folds on your face to become more prominent. While these facial features are not harmful to your health, they do contribute to a sunken, hollow bearing. With a facial fat transfer, you can restore the plumpness and hydration of your skin to achieve a more youthful appearance.
