Facial Injections that Last: Fat Transfer
What are Facial Fat Injections
Fat injections, also known as facial fat grafting or fat transfer, are a natural solution for restoring volume to the face. This technique involves Dr. Shaddix removing fat from one area of the body, purifying the harvested fat, and injecting it into targeted areas of the face. This enhances facial fullness using your body’s tissue, with results lasting for years.
Fat Grafting to Treat the Face
As we age, we naturally lose facial fat, leading to a hollowed appearance. Fat injections replenish lost volume, smooth wrinkles, fill sunken cheeks, and enhance facial contours while removing excess fat from other areas of the body using liposuction. The transferred fat can enhance common treatment areas such as the temples, cheeks, under-eye hollows, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
Facial Fat Grafting Procedure
Autologous fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure where fat harvested from a donor site on your own body is purified and used in an autologous fat transfer to restore volume and smoothness to the face. This natural alternative to synthetic fillers involves fat injected into areas of soft tissue where volume has diminished, offering long-lasting rejuvenation. During this cosmetic surgery treatment, the cosmetic surgeon will perform fat transfer by placing grafted fat precisely into the subcutaneous fat layers, allowing the injected fat to integrate naturally.
Fat Transfer to Restore Facial Volume After Weight Loss
Significant weight loss can leave the face looking deflated or aged. Fat injections offer a natural solution by restoring fullness to key facial areas that may have become hollow or are experiencing sagging. Whether you have undergone weight loss surgery or made lifestyle changes, facial fat grafting helps rejuvenate your facial appearance without the need for implants or synthetic fillers.
What are the Benefits of Facial Fat Transfer
Unlike dermal fillers that are absorbed over time, fat grafts can permanently add volume. Additionally, since the material comes from your own body, there’s no risk of allergic reaction. Fat grafting allows you to contour one area while enhancing another. Over time, many patients notice a more youthful appearance due to the regenerative properties of fat cells.
Who is a Candidate for Facial Fat Grafting
Ideal candidates for fat injections are individuals in good overall health who want to restore facial volume naturally. You should have enough donor fat on your body to allow for the transfer, and be in good overall health. Non-smokers tend to see the best outcomes, as smoking can interfere with fat survival. Fat grafting may be right for you if you have previously tried fillers and want a more permanent solution or prefer a natural approach.
Can Fat Injections Be Done in Other Areas?
Fat injections are not limited to the face. This technique is commonly used to enhance other parts of the body, such as the breasts and buttocks. Whether you are looking to add volume to your bust or hips, fat transfer can be a safe and natural option for breast augmentation or butt enhancement.
