Fat Transfer
Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is also sometimes referred to as fat injections. It describes the procedure of transferring fat from the body to the areas that have lost fat through aging. The fat transfer procedure will remove a patient’s own fat to re-implant it where needed. It is typically extracted from body parts like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, and injected into another area that requires plumping, such as a patient’s facial features. When used as a facial filler, fat transfer can improve the creased and sunken areas of the face, and add fullness to the lips and cheeks. The fat is placed into the areas that need it. The recovery process can last about 1 to 2 weeks with possibly unnatural swelling during that time but there is minimal discomfort and for many they return to work in 10 days (with still some residual swelling). The recovery process is variable and is really based on how much fat was required for transfer.
