What it is
Fat transfer: a small amount of your own fat, taken gently from the abdomen or thigh, purified and placed in the temples, cheeks, around the mouth.
The treatments / Fat grafting
the power of fat grafting.
It looks a lot prettier when it has fat under it. So that’s the power of fat grafting.
You can grab fat, there are a lot of things you can do to make skin look youthful, but to actually grow collagen is the most magical thing you can possibly have to keep young, healthy skin.
You realize it used to have more volume because it’s hard to remember how much you had until it’s gone.
With a facelift
Most often done during a lift, so the face is both lifted and restored in one recovery.
Nanofat
Fat processed to its regenerative cells and placed under thin, crepey skin — the lines around the mouth.
A few questions.
The things people ask.
Is it permanent?
A portion of the transferred fat takes and stays for good; a portion is absorbed in the first months. I place with that in mind and tell you what to expect, not a percentage promise.
Fat or filler?
Filler is precise, reversible and quick. Fat is yours, lasting, and done once, usually at the time of surgery. The right one depends on how much is missing and what else is being done.
