FAT TRANSFER

The fat transfer procedure is a simple three-step process of removing fat from one area of the body and preparing it, then injecting the fat cells into the target site. Fat transfer results are usually noticeable immediately after the procedure and can last several months or years, or even permanently. The fat can be used for many facial imperfections, including scars and depressions in the skin. The effects of facial fat sculpting are very long-lasting — facial fat injections last significantly longer than cosmetic injectables such as collagen, restylane®, and juvéderm. Facial fat sculpting is safe, since there are no allergic reactions to worry about, because the fat transplantation is from your own body. The risks of fat transfer/fat injection are few and minimal. Soreness and swelling are possible, but they're not commonly experienced. One should consider all of the risks and benefits of fat transfer before undergoing treatment.
