With the use of a small needle attached to a syringe, fat tissue is removed via Liposuction from a donor site where your fat is most tightly packed, such as your buttocks, abdomen or your hips.
Excess fluid is removed, and the collated fat tissue is injected with another needle into the facial area until the desired result is achieved. If fat is collected during another procedure, your surgeon can freeze and store it for a future transfer. Fat transfer is a simple cosmetic procedure that is performed quickly. Any swelling experienced will subside in one to two days, and any bruising will disappear within five to ten days.
To improve the success rate of a Fat Transfer procedure, Stem Cell and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments can be combined to substantially increase the survival and growth rate of the fat.
