Fat Transfer
Autologous Fat Grafting for facial rejuvenation
One of the main manifestations of aging is a loss of volume that, in turn, directly causes facial sagging and wrinkling. The importance of maintaining facial volume has long been recognised in aesthetic medicine, and the popularity of injectable fillers confirms that clients think alike.
However, for those who need more than just a couple of syringes of filler to restore original volume or for those who want the most natural results, there is a Fat Transfer option.
The amazing thing about fat transfer is that it not only provides a generous source of natural filler to replenish what has been lost but also rejuvenates tissues from the inside out. In addition to overall improved volume, fat grafting and nanofat in particular offers improved pore size, skin texture, fine line reduction, increased brightness to the complexion, and smoothing of fine lines and dents. As living tissue, fat continues to positively affect the treatment area for years afterward.
Some clients will need larger volumes just to achieve their younger self look and are interested in fat grafting mostly for its volume and long-lasting results. The abundance of fat allows for major structural improvements.
Other clients are turning to adipose tissue grafting for its regenerative powers, primarily with the goal of progressively improving facial volume and skin quality with just a slight fat boost. Those procedures offer results lasting years with natural and glowy quality to rejuvenated tissue. They are very popular now among those who want ongoing improvement without looking “done” and are mostly responsible for fat injection increase in popularity.
The contemporary technology allows harvesting a significant amount of filler from just a couple of ounces of harvested fat. Special procedures aid in quick fat processing to allow the selection of the most viable tissue (see Fat Face Lift article). Those fat cells full of growth factors and signals to regenerate are injected throughout the face or another treatment area for an even, natural, and barely perceivable volume increase, and then they start exerting their regenerative power on the area of treatment. You can lift, tighten, and brighten the face, arms, thighs, neck, hands, and many other areas with this technique.
These “slow face lift procedures” can be performed using fat injection alone or in combination with other boosters. Custom cocktail ingredients will depend on the individual needs and may include other compounds that will increase fat transfer effect and longevity. Combining fat injection with other treatments, be it Morpheus8, Laser Resurfacing, or ThreadLift, can offer superior results in lifting.
All of the options are best discussed in consultation. With results lasting years to sometimes a lifetime, making a careful choice is key to a successful and satisfying procedure.
