Face Fat Transfer
A Natural Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
What is Facial Fat Transfer?
Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is a revolutionary procedure that restores volume and enhances facial contours using fat collected from other areas of your body. This technique offers a safe and long-lasting solution for facial rejuvenation, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance. It is ideal for individuals looking to address volume loss, refine facial features, and achieve a natural look with minimal risk of allergic reactions as the fat is taken from your own body. In some cases, this procedure can replace the need for the use of dermal fillers to restore volume.
How it works
Fat grafting is a three-step process performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on how much fat is removed from the body. The procedure typically takes 1-3 hours and involves the following steps:
Harvesting Fat
Using a specialized liposuction technique, Dr. Dolev extracts the fat from areas with excess, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvesting process is designed to minimize trauma to the fat cells, ensuring a higher survival rate during the transfer.
Purification and Preparation
Once harvested, the fat is processed to remove impurities, such as blood and oils, leaving only the most viable fat cells for transfer. This purification step is crucial and reduces the risk of irregularities after the transfer.
Injection
Dr. Dolev injects the purified fat using fine cannulas into targeted areas of the face, such as the cheeks, under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, temples, or jawline. The injections are placed in layers to create natural contours and restore lost volume.
Fat grafting is the perfect solution for enhancing the face without synthetic materials. The procedure rejuvenates the face and allows for subtle body contouring during fat harvesting. With its safe, minimally invasive approach and enduring results, fat grafting invests in timeless, natural-looking beauty.
Benefits of Fat Grafting:
- Natural-Looking Results: Enhances facial features and restores volume with your body’s own fat.
- Minimal Risk of Allergies: The procedure uses your fat, so there is minimal allergic reaction or rejection risk.
- Dual Benefit: Improves facial volume while contouring areas of the body through fat harvesting.
- Subtle Rejuvenation: Smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a refreshed and youthful appearance without looking overdone.
Long-Lasting Results
Fat grafting is known for its longevity. While the body may naturally reabsorb some of the transferred fat over time, the fat that successfully integrates into the tissue provides long-lasting results. By combining volume restoration with improved skin quality, fat grafting delivers a youthful look that enhances your facial harmony for many years to come.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Fat grafting is an excellent choice for individuals experiencing volume loss in the face due to aging or other factors. They are also great for patients looking for a natural alternative to synthetic fillers. Ideal candidates have areas of the body with excess fat that they wish to contour. Non-smokers who are in good health and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s results are particularly well-suited for fat grafting.
