Fat Grafting For Face Rejuvenation

Fat grafting for face rejuvenation, also known as fat transfer or fat injection, is a cosmetic procedure that involves harvesting fat from one part of the body (usually the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks) through liposuction and then injecting it into the face to restore volume, fill in wrinkles, and rejuvenate the facial appearance.

During the procedure, the harvested fat is processed to remove excess fluids and then injected into targeted areas of the face where volume loss has occurred due to aging. This can include areas such as the cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, and nasolabial folds. Fat grafting can also be used to enhance lips and improve overall facial symmetry.

One of the benefits of fat grafting is that it uses the patient's own natural tissue, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Additionally, the results of fat grafting can be long-lasting, as the transferred fat cells can integrate with the surrounding tissues and provide a permanent improvement in facial volume and contour.

However, it's important to note that not all of the transferred fat cells may survive, and multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results. Like any surgical procedure, fat grafting carries potential risks, including infection, bleeding, asymmetry, and overcorrection.
