Restore Natural Facial Volume

 

Structural fat grafting, also known as fat transfer injections, is a technique that involves removing fat from the body and transferring it to the face to enhance volume. This treatment produces natural and permanent results.

With structural fat grafting, patients can rejuvenate the face with natural volume. By reversing volume loss in the face, patients can enjoy reduced lines and wrinkles and a more youthful appearance. Plus, patients can simultaneously enhance another area of the body by removing stubborn fat in areas like the buttocks, thighs or abdomen.

Is a Fat Transfer Painful?

The structural fat grafting procedure is performed with varying anesthetic techniques, eliminating any discomfort during the treatment process. You may experience some discomfort during your immediate recovery, but these symptoms can be easily managed with pain medications and the appropriate recovery protocol.

How Long Does a Fat Transfer Last?

It’s important to note that in the months following a fat transfer, some of the transferred fat will be reabsorbed by the body. This is accounted for during treatment by injecting extra fat into the desired areas. Approximately six months after treatment, the transferred fat should have fully settled, representing your final results. At this point, you can expect your results to be permanent. However, keep in mind that the face will still age and natural volume loss will continue to develop gradually.
