How do fat transfer injections work?

Fat transfer injections use your own stem cells to the area to enhance facial features naturally. This non-allergenic procedure can plump your cheeks, lips, and chin and reduce fine lines and deep facial folds. It can also address atrophic aging on the hands, neck, and lips. With abundant growth factors and proteins, fat transfer can dramatically improve skin quality. Moreover, the results are long-lasting, reducing the need for ongoing maintenance procedures.

The natural fat transfer procedure

The duration of each fat transfer procedure varies depending on factors such as the treatment area and the extent of correction needed. Most procedures take an hour or less and can be performed using local anesthesia with or without IV sedation.

The process begins with mini-liposuction to collect the required amount of fat from a donor area, typically the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks.
The harvested tissue is then processed to separate fat cells from other components and purify them.
Finally, the purified fat cells are re-injected into the target area, creating the desired contour and fullness.

Depending on the treatment area, this process may be repeated over the next 18 months to achieve optimal results.

Areas that can be enhanced with fat transfer injections

Face: Improve facial lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, Crow's Feet, acne scarring, sunken cheeks, and hollow areas under the eyes.
Lips: Enhance lip volume and shape naturally for fuller, more defined lips.
Hands: Rejuvenate aging hands by plumping up lax tissue and concealing visible vessels and tendons.
Breasts: Breast augmentation results can be made more natural-looking with natural fat transfer.
Buttocks: Utilizing fat transfer, creates a natural and sculpted appearance, tailored to individual body shapes without the use of synthetic materials.

What is the recovery from fat transfer injections?

Fat transfer injections typically require minimal downtime. Initial recovery may involve mild bruising and swelling around both the liposuction site and the injection area. A compression garment may be required to reduce swelling and fluid buildup at the donor site. Most patients can return to work within one to two days, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for the first three to four weeks.

What results can I expect with fat transfer injections?

You can expect immediate improvements in the treated area, with continued enhancement as post-op swelling subsides. Besides the visual benefits, the fat transfer process also improves skin texture and tone over time. The results are long-lasting, with the transferred fatty tissue thriving in its new location. Typically, patients retain 60-80% of the transferred fat, and additional procedures may be scheduled in the next one to two years to maintain or enhance the results.
