How often can you do fat transfer to the face?

Because the normal facial aging process results in a loss of facial fat volume, patients who are improving well after facial fat grafting can be expected to require one or more sessions every 3-5 years. As patients age, they lose both transplanted and grafted facial fat. The procedure may need to be repeated every few years.

Who is a good candidate for facial fat transfer?

Facelifts and other cosmetic surgery have become increasingly effective over the last century. These procedures use advanced equipment and knowledge to perform detailed manual work on patients’ faces. Over time, this results in natural-looking, stable appearances that are likely to impress everyone who sees them. Any procedure that makes surgery more effective is going to lead to better outcomes for patients. Plus, it will reduce healthcare costs by reducing the number of procedures required to achieve desired cosmetic results.

According to current research, fractional fat transfer has great potential for treating many different skin conditions due to its ability to replace unwanted facial fat with patient adipose tissue. In addition, facelifts are being improved thanks to this treatment method- allowing for better outcomes and less invasive procedures. Fractional fat transfer is still in its infancy; however, its possibilities are promising enough that it should be closely monitored in the future as additional techniques are developed for treating secondary skin problems induced by excess facial adipose tissue accumulation beneath the skin’s surface.

Fat transfer facial rejuvenation is an excellent option for patients who want to improve volume in specific areas of the face or restore volume lost with age. Fat injected into these areas adds volume and refines contours for a more youthful appearance. Fat transfer can also be used to replace lost volume leading to wrinkles and tooth decay. Fat transferred to deep smile lines, corners of the mouth, sunken eyes and sagging cheeks can restore plumpness and improve the effects of aging. Your plastic surgeon will meet with you for a consultation and review your concerns, desired changes, and medical history to determine if face and/or neck lift surgery is right for you. Assess for medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, kidney disease, heart problems, and other serious illnesses.

Does facial fat transfer help with wrinkles?

Fractional fat transfer is a new way to get rid of unwanted fat. Fractional fat transfer involves harvesting and transplanting only a portion of a patient’s fat to create natural-looking results. This is accomplished through a series of medical procedures performed on an individualized basis. Facelifts and other cosmetic surgery have become increasingly effective over the last century. However, doctors are always looking for new treatments to improve the appearance of their patient’s faces. Fractional fat transfer is one such treatment that holds great promise for in situ aesthetic improvement.

Fractional fat transfer is a new way to get rid of unwanted fat. Unlike facelifts and other cosmetic surgery, which use general anesthesia, fractional fat transfer uses local anesthesia. This allows for less pain but increases the risk of complications. To conduct a facelift or other cosmetic surgery, doctors use advanced equipment and skillful hands to manually manipulate their patients’ faces. This causes minimal damage to the facial tissue and strengthens the skin’s structural integrity. However, repeated manual manipulation can damage the facial bone structure and cause saggy skin. Using fractional fat transfer circumvents these issues by transferring only desired amounts of patient fat to problematic areas.

Facial fat transfer is an effective way to treat many different skin conditions. Defects in the fatty tissue layer beneath the skin’s surface can cause numerous skin problems such as facial wrinkles and acne scars. Fat surrounds all organs in the body, keeping different areas supple and elastic while promoting healthy organ function. Therefore, when excess fat accumulates beneath the skin’s surface, it can cause problems similar to those caused by excess weight elsewhere in the body. Facial fat transfer transfers small portions of patient adipose (fat) tissue directly into facial areas affected by unwanted fat deposits beneath the skin’s surface.

To counteract the signs of aging, facial fat grafting uses your body fat and repositions it on the face to reveal a youthful silhouette. The patient’s fat is removed and cleansed from common problem areas, including the thighs, abdomen or buttocks, before re-injection into the face. Since the fat comes from the patient’s own body, the transfer is not rejected by the immune system.

The procedure itself takes about two to three hours; in addition, fat transfer can be performed on the hands for a more youthful appearance.

Facial fat transfer can take years; in many cases, the results can be permanent. However, keep in mind that facial fat transfer does not prevent future aging. While facial fat transfer can minimize current signs of aging, patients should expect results to decline slightly over time.
