The ageing processAs we age our faces lose volume and elasticity because of the gravity, UV light exposure, smoking, and lifestyle, resulting in sunken cheeks, and sharper chins. The fat transfer procedure can smooth out face contours or add shape to different parts of your face by using tissue taken from other parts of your body. You may choose to have fat implants or transfer because you think that your face is wrinkled or lacks shape, but this may be caused by your face structure and cannot necessarily be corrected by a fat transfer. Therefore, it is important to talk to your doctor about whether fat transfer is the right procedure for you, or if there are any alternatives. |
Restoring volumeFat transfer has been considered for years a procedure that restores volume to your face, but surgeons have encountered over the years the same problem: variability of the results. The latest developments in this area of cosmetic surgery have led to the use of a more successful technique that can provide a gradual, controlled restoration of the youthful shapes of the face and other parts of the body. This new technique makes the results much more predictable, as the grafting process is more complex with fat cells that have survived the grafting process having a lasting presence. A plus for the fat transfer procedure is that the material used comes from your own body, making it well tolerated in the long-term. |
