Recycle Your Own Fat!
Recycle Your Own Fat!
Ever dreamed of moving extra fat to another area of your body needing some plumping? Well now we can, with a relatively new procedure called “Natural Fat Grafting.” The technique I use basically employs specialized liposuction to remove and harvest unwanted fat in one area, then I artistically inject and sculpt the adipose stem cells into another area after a quick spin, like seen in our photo.
Fat grafting or sometimes called Lipo-fat transfer can be an effective anti-aging alternative without the use of artificial chemical fillers for facial rejuvenation and correcting lip wrinkles or refreshing and plumping lips. When using autologous (your own) fat for increasing or re-shaping breasts and correcting uneven breasts, more than one session is sometimes needed. However, fat injections are particularly helpful to minimize a small divot left from a biopsy or lumpectomy during a single office visit. While natural fat grafting is not the answer for weight loss, it has shown to be safe and effective in targeting localized unwanted fat and offers patients another option in the toolbox of elective cosmetic surgery.
