There are many ways to restore youthful fullness to facial contours, and one method gaining popularity is called Fat Transfer. Instead of relying on the repeated use of injectable fillers, some patients are now able to use fat from their own bodies to restore lost volume and create a youthful-looking flow.
What is Fat Transfer?
Fat is commonly harvested from the patient’s abdomen, hips or thighs. This excess fat is then prepared by Dr. Savalia for re-placement into problem areas where fullness is needed, such as the around the eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds or lips.
What is the advantage of fat transfer?
While injectable fillers have many advantages, the advantage of fat transfer is that it comes from your own body, which eliminates the risk of allergic reaction. Additionally, results of fat transfer last for many years, and are sometimes permanent, compared to fillers which last one year or less.
Where is the fat transfer procedure performed?
Fat transfer can be performed by Dr. Savalia as a simple in-office procedure or can be performed as an adjunct procedure during various cosmetic surgery procedures.---
Can I have fat transfer in combination with a face lift?
Yes! Dr. Savalia finds that using fat transfer with a face lift can provide even better results for some patients than a face lift alone.
What is recovery from fat transfer like?
You may experience some redness, bruising or swelling but in general, downtime is minimal and Dr. Savalia’s patients who have had the procedure are thrilled with the results.
