Facial Enhancements - Facial Fat Transfers at Atlanta Plastic Surgery
Our highly skilled surgeons use fat transfer techniques to remove excess fat in certain areas of the body and restore volume in others. During fat transfer, excess fat is removed through liposuction from areas like the abdomen, thighs, jowls, or buttocks. Once removed, the fat is purified and re-injected into areas that need more volume. Our patients respond well to fat transfer. Since the patients’ own fat is used, there is no risk of allergic reaction. Patients most commonly have fat injected into their face (i.e.- wrinkles and acne scars) and buttocks (i.e.- Brazilian butt lift).
Facial Fat Sculpting at Atlanta Plastic Surgery
Fat transfer, or fat grafting, can be used to fill in areas of lost volume or wrinkles on the face, or to correct imperfections of the face such as deep acne scarring. Usually used as an alternative to facial fillers like Restylane® and Juvéderm®, fat transfer can add shape and volume to areas of the face that lack volume, yet do not denote facial implants. Fat transfer is a good alternative to the leading facial fillers because there is no risk of allergic reaction and the results last longer.
