Rejuvenate Your Skin With Facial Fat Transfer
- Posted on: Feb 15 2023
They say that wisdom comes with age, but you know what else comes with age? Age-related skin issues. These concerns may include wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in various areas of the face, including your cheeks, under the eyes, and around the temples. These cosmetic concerns can be extremely frustrating for men and women of all ages since they can make us look much older than we actually are, and definitely older than we want to look. The good news is that there are various cosmetic treatments that can help turn back the hands of time on our skin—and one of these most trusted procedures is facial fat transfer.
What Is Facial Fat Transfer?
Facial fat transfer is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in which fat is harvested from one area of your body and then injected into various treatment areas on your face. In many ways, facial fat transfer is similar to other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, except that fat transfer does not use any foreign substances. With fat transfer, you can help rejuvenate and revitalize your facial aesthetic so that you can feel more comfortable and confident with your appearance.
How Is Facial Fat Transfer Performed?
Facial fat transfer requires several steps. The first step in this procedure is harvesting fat from one area of your body. Liposuction is used to extract fat from an area of your body that has excess fat deposits such as your abdomen, hips, or thighs. Once the fat is extracted, it is put into a centrifuge, which separates and purifies the fat. This purified fat is then taken and injected directly into areas of the face that are hollow and sunken in due to aging. The fat helps to volumize the injected skin to give you a more natural and youthful appearance, and the best part is that this process stimulates collagen production to help you achieve long-lasting results.
Why Should I Consider Facial Fat Transfer?
Not only does fat transfer help bring life back to your face, but skin laxity as well as wrinkles can be smoothed out through this process. Additionally, there are psychological benefits to facial fat transfer. After your results settle in, you can look forward to feeling more confident with the way you look. Long gone are the days where you’re worried about what others think of your appearance, with a fat transfer, you’ll look and feel good in the skin you’re in!
Along with the physical and psychological benefits of facial fat transfer, there are other and more practical benefits as well. Where other cosmetic treatments, including dermal fillers and chemical peels, only offer short-term results, anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months, your results from your fat transfer procedure can last years without needing any maintenance or upkeep treatments. So, not only will you have smoother, more youthful skin, but you will be able to save time and money in the long run from not needing repeated treatments.
