Facial Fat Transfer
Aging results in loss of soft tissue volume of the face and accentuation of the folds around the mouth. Off the shelf fillers are nonsurgical ways to replace the volume and improve the folds but have a limited longevity. Fat transfer involves harvesting your own body’s fat, washing and filtering the fat, and then injecting the fat into the face.

Treatment overview
Loss of soft tissue volume and deepening of folds in the face are addressed with fillers. “Off the shelf” fillers have both the advantage and limitation of lasting a defined period of time, often anywhere from 6-24 months. Fat transfer is the use of your own body’s filler and has the potential to last longer. Think of the fat harvested as a “seed” and the face as the “soil”. In this analogy, the seeds that are planted into the soil that “take” can provide long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
