Anti-aging Refresh for the Holidays
November 23rd, 2019
Anti-aging quick fixes or minor nipntucks usually do not offer permanent changes. However, a short clinic visit for Botox® and facial fillers, the minimally invasive procedures can offer facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime and quick recovery just in time for the Holidays. Recent advances in fat grating techniques, can also give patients a more permanent solution.
Fat grating or lipo-transfer utilizes liposuction and repurposing the fat to plump sagging faces, minimize lip wrinkles and more. Fat is removed from areas like the abdomen or thighs and the concentrated fat cells are injected and sculpted into targeted areas for facial rejuvenation.

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.
