As we age, our skin begins to show signs of wear and tear. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin are all telltale signs that time has taken its toll. One of the most noticeable areas where these changes occur is in our faces. Fat transfers are a popular facial rejuvenation treatment that can help to restore lost volume and give the face a more youthful appearance. Read on to find out how our fat transfers at Maloney Plastic Surgery can help you achieve a more youthful look.
What are fat transfers?
Fat transfers are a type of facial rejuvenation treatment that involve taking fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the face. This can help to add volume to areas that have lost volume due to aging, such as the cheeks, lips, and under-eye area. Fat transfers can also help to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
What happens during a fat transfer?
During a fat transfer procedure, fat will be removed from an area of the body via liposuction. The fat will then be purified and injected into the areas of the face that need volume. Once the fat has been injected, it will be massaged into place. The whole procedure takes around 45 minutes to an hour to complete, although this can vary based on the patient.
Am I a good candidate for a fat transfer?
During your consultation with Dr. Maloney, he will determine if you are a good candidate for a fat transfer. Good candidates for this procedure are in good overall health and have specific areas of the face that they would like to improve.
