Ever wish that your fat was someplace else where you think they would be needed more? Well, with fat transfers, you can do just that. This anti-aging treatment makes use of our own fat and injects the fat onto areas where there is sagging and looseness. The good thing about this is that since the fat is our own, there is little risk of rejection by the body. You don’t have to worry about allergic reactions or prior testing. In fact, our bodies are believed to be able absorb from 20% to 95% of transferred fat. And unlike other dermal fillers which are absorbed into the body, fat transfers tend to last more than the three to nine months that is the usual “life span” of other dermal fillers. There are even cases when the fat transfer lasted for as long as three years.
Fat transfer is also called fat autographs, fat grafting or microlipoinjections. It has proven its effectiveness in filling out the hollow areas under the eye, getting rid of the laugh lines, augmenting the cheeks and also filling out the creases in the forehead. But fat transfer is not only great at getting rid of wrinkles, but also to enlarge breasts, give you a more defined and shapely buttocks, and smoothen out the wrinkles in your hands. Other possible uses of fat injections include implants on the chin and cheek, as well as penis enlargement.
This anti-aging treatment is done with the use of a liposuction cannula or a syringe. The doctor targets the abdomen, buttocks, lower stomach, the inner knees and the inner thighs for the harvesting of the fat. These are the areas where the fat is packed most tightly. This is done gently and carefully harvested. This is because fat can be quite delicate outside of the human body.
This anti aging treatment is recommended for those who are not that “ripe” for face lifts. The good thing about this treatment is that you can combine it with a liposuction procedure to save on costs.
Fat transfer is an outpatient procedure, with local anesthetics used on the area where the fat is to be harvested and the area where the fat will be injected. The doctor will also provide medication to help with any discomfort you may have after the procedure. Expect some swelling and bruising.To optimize the effects of the treatment, it is recommended that you have three to four fat transfer sessions in a span of six months. This can help ensure that the effects will last for years.
