Fat Transfer Used to Rejuvenate the Face

There has been a paradigm shift in the approach to facial aging that consists of a trend away from subtractive facial-surgery techniques and a newer focus on restorative procedures. As the face ages over time, facial-fat loss and volume depletion contribute to an aged and sunken facial appearance.

To restore lost facial volume and contour, cosmetic surgeons have been searching for the ideal filler to rejuvenate the face and to correct wrinkles, scars, depressions, and creases. Fat transfer can be a great way to place this lost fullness.

Transferring a patient's own fat has always been an attractive idea because there are no allergic reactions; the fat is readily available and inexpensive; and a variety of conditions can be treated including facial-volume loss, atrophic aging of the hands, post-surgical defects and post-traumatic defects. When performed appropriately, the procedure can yield satisfying cosmetic results.

Some of the benefits of fat transfer include:

Minimal pain or discomfort
Minimal risk
Short recovery time
The ability to treat all skin types
Long-lasting results
Cost-efficiency
Elimination of the risk of allergy or rejection

Fat transfer is commonly used now to enhance the results of other cosmetic surgeries, such as facelifts.
