More Youthful Lips: Not Fish Lips
April 24th, 2017
Is it possible to get fuller lips without ending up with fish lips? As we age, the fat layer beneath our skin diminishes which causes the appearance of aging and facial wrinkles. This process also happens to our lips. For the past decade, artificial fillers became the go-to fix to plump up an aging face, buying time before a surgical facelift was needed. When at first, a few injections did the trick, soon to follow was the over-injected, the over-plumped unfortunate cartoon face look. I think we’ve all seen it and I am not a fan. Enter a new technique to restore that fat layer, and restore your youthful look using your own fat. Yes, plumper lips, creating a more youthful appearance is quite possible without resulting in the famous Hollywood “Trout Pout.”
Lipo fat transfer is an ideal clinic-based solution for facial fat loss, such as lip wrinkles or thinning lips, the hallows under your eyes and more. Liposuction fat is first removed from selected areas, next your own fat is transferred and sculpted with facial injections. Fat has naturally high concentrations of stromal cells, and it is believed that these somatic stem cells help rejuvenate and plum the overlying skin.
Lipo fat grafting is a natural alternative to artificial fillers and can be an effective choice offering a quick recovery. Now plumper lips, creating a more youthful appearance is quite possible to avoid without resulting in the famous Hollywood “Trout Pout.” A glance at your plastic surgeon’s Before/After photos offers a reliable evaluation of what to expect.

Want a Rested Vacation Look?
April 12th, 2017
Has someone ever commented on how great you look after a vacation? Want the Spring Break rested look without the plane ticket? Minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedures can offer a younger and freshened appearance, much like returning rested from a relaxing vacation!
As we age, the fat layer beneath our skin diminishes, which causes the appearance of aging and facial wrinkles. Natural liposuctioned fat grafting is a great new way to restore that fat layer, and restore a more youthful look. Lipo fat grafting transfer is an effective choice to consider, since it offers a relatively quick recovery. Fat Grafting has been called a dream come true. Who hasn’t heard someone say they wish that they could suck fat from one area and reposition it someplace else? Many elective cosmetic surgeries routinely include liposuction of excess fat. This innovative technique allows plastic surgeons to gently remove fat and prepare it to be injected into other areas. As we recently talked live on the air for the KQRS Morning Show, during Tom Barnard’s facial rejuvenation procedure, Lipo Fat Grafting is an effective technique used to improve facial appearance (more on Tom’s fat grating here). The procedure replaces the use of artificial dermal fillers in the hollow areas around the eyes needing to be plumped and can be used to smooth out lip wrinkles or improve cheekbone structure.
