Fat
Transfer
In
addition to developing fine lines and wrinkles, one of the telltale
signs of aging is the loss of fat in key facial compartments. A
youthful face contains a significant amount of fat in the cheeks and
nasal folds, but the aging process can lead to significant fat loss and
skin tissue break down in each of these areas. Fat transfer
procedures are designed to fill out the cheeks and other facial
compartments to restore a more youthful look and reduce the appearance
of fine lines and wrinkles. The fat is harvested from other areas of
the body such as the abdomen, thighs or legs and then injected beneath
the facial skin to create a rounder, natural appearance.
Dr. Zarrabi specializes in fat transfer procedures to provide patients
with another option for facial rejuvenation. The procedure typically
takes only a few hours, and results in a natural, ‘filled’ out look
that smooths out the skin and enhances the contours of the face.
Key Benefits of Fat Transfer for the Face
Many men and women who are noticing the signs of aging around their
eyes, cheeks, nose and lips can benefit from a simple fat transfer
procedure. Since the injection is made of the patient’s own body
compounds, the body readily absorbs the injection so that the result is
a natural and smooth appearance.
Key benefits of the fat transfer procedure for the face include:
- Enhancing the lips
- Reducing skin depressions and indentations
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Correcting facial imbalances
- Augmenting the cheeks to create a fuller, more youthful look
What to Expect from the Fat Transfer Procedure
Most people who undergo the fat transfer procedure will experience
puffiness and swelling immediately afterwards, but this typically
subsides within a few days after the surgery. The skin tissues will
also begin to produce more collagen at the surgical sites as they begin
to absorb the fat compounds and adjust to accommodate; the result is a
smoother, sculpted and more contoured facial appearance.
Dr. Zarrabi offers a customized approach when conducting the analysis
and consultation for the fat transfer procedure, which means you can
look forward to a natural and sculpted look. Dr. Zarrabi uses some of
the latest techniques to perform the procedure and has several years of
experience in fat transfer and other facial rejuvenation procedures.
