Lipo Fat used in Natural Facial Rejuvenation
April 23rd, 2013
Recent Patient talks about having Lipo Fat Transfer for natural facial rejuvenation .
RJB writes: “I’m a fit and health conscious 46 year-old woman. Recently my reflection in the mirror seemed tired and older than it should. The area under my eyes, the lines from nose to mouth, and my lips and cheeks had definitely changed! My main goal was to just look like the healthy young person that I am.
I had a consultation with Dr. Bashioum about options to improve my problem areas. He suggested fat grafting, which involves careful liposuction to harvest your fat, then injecting it into target areas. According to Dr. Bashioum, fat grafting provides regenerative properties and it really works to address the look of aging by plumping up my hollow areas where I had lost some fat layer. I was very excited about this because it’s natural, using my own fat vs. some other injectable, so I scheduled the procedure.”
Anti-Aging of the Future: Fat Grafting
March 20th, 2013
Last week in Miami, I participated in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons 1st Regenerative Medicine Summit focusing on fat grafting. This is the wave of anti-aging treatments of the future.
Regenerative medicine has the real potential to change the way we treat the aging body, impacting both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. It is the future of medicine happening right now. ASPS’s summit focused on clinical applications of regenerative medicine and fat grafting for both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
Of particular interest to me are the advancements in implant-free breast enlargements and incision-free facial rejuvenation. This is an exciting time to be a plastic surgeon. More on that next.
