Facial fat transfers are a type of procedure that involves removing fatty deposits from one area of the body and transferring them to locations that need some rejuvenation. During the process, the fat is taken out via liposuction. It is then purified and re-injected into the target area. Due to the fact that the patient is receiving their own fat cells, there are far fewer risks associated with the treatment. This allows them to benefit without all the worry.
Problems That Can Be Treated With Facial Fat Transfers
Facial fat transfers work exceptionally well when it comes to treating signs of aging that appear on the face. In many cases, patients undergo this treatment to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around their eyes. It is also effective for reducing saggy skin and droopy cheeks.
This treatment essentially injects fat into areas that have fallen flat or lost their elasticity. This makes the area fuller and restores a youthful appearance.
Why Choose Facial Fat Transfers?
Facial fat transfers work naturally to allow you to restore fullness to droopy, wrinkled, and sagging areas on your face. The process does not involve injecting any artificial substances into your body. This drastically reduces the chances of your body rejecting it or experiencing harmful side effects. Instead, you can enhance the appearance of your skin, improve its texture, and ensure a more organic feeling to your face.
Are There Risks With Facial Fat Transfers?
After the procedure, you may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness. In some cases, you may experience an altered sensation. Most side effects that individuals experience tend to subside within a few days. Serious side effects of the procedure are extremely rare. Discussing any risks with your doctor is recommended so you know what to expect.
