Fat Transfer FAQs
Fat transfer via injections sounds promising, but how great are the benefits in reality, and how significant are the costs? Find the answers to questions that many people ask about this procedure, which is also known as fat grafting.
Fat Transfer Cost and Financing
Fat transfer costs depend on many factors, the most significant of which is the reason for the fat transfer (e.g., lip enhancement, lipoatrophy correction, scar revision, wrinkle smoothing, etc.). Your unique case will determine the fees and whether financing options may be available.
Fat Transfer Risks and Benefits
Fat transfer risks and benefits depend in part on an individual's medical history and desires. Discuss the advantages and possible complications of fat transfer and fat injection procedures with your cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist.
The Fat Transfer Procedure
Fat transfer is a safe and beneficial technique. In a fat transfer procedure, some excess fat is removed from a patient, purified, and re-injected into the target site(s) to create a new contour or correct an imperfection. Fat transfer results can be quite long-lasting.
Facial Fat Transfer Candidates
The appropriate candidates for fat transfer/fat injection have a facial imperfection such as smile or frown lines, marionette lines, furrows, creases, hollows, emaciation, or scar depressions. Fat transfer is also very beneficial for enhancing lip volume.
Lip Augmentation Fat Transfer
Lip augmentation with fat transfer is an advanced method for enhancing the lips. This procedure uses tissue taken from your body to provide natural-looking results.
Fat Transfer (Microlipoinjection)
Microlipoinjection (autologous fat transfer/injection) is a safe and natural procedure for filling lines, furrows, and depressions or hollows in the face, and for “plumping up” the lips, using a patient's own excess body fat. These facial fat injections add volume where needed, restoring the youthful look of your face.
Combination Treatments for Aging Skin
The “no downtime” procedure refers to any facial enhancement treatment that does not require time off from work or social engagements. The trend started a decade ago with so-called “lunchtime” peels.
Fat Transfer: A Facial Rejuvenation Technique
One of the newest trends in cosmetic surgery revolves around what we call “volume replacement.” Until recently, rejuvenation surgery involved treatment of the skin through tightening or repositioning. However, much of facial aging occurs as the soft facial tissues are lost with aging.
