FAT AUGMENTATION
Fat Augmentation-Injection of fat cells harvested from your own body can enhance facial fullness, fill deep creases and build up shallow contours. After the fat cells are harvested, injection takes only a few moments per site. An improved appearance is visible almost immediately, although minor swelling or bruising may appear at the injection site and may last as long as a few weeks. These effects can be alleviated with topical icing. The fullness achieved with autologous fat injection lasts two years or more in some cases.
Human fat, harvested from your own body can be re-injected to enhance facial fullness, fill deep creases and to build up shallow contours. Fat injection is a more extensive procedure than other injectable fillers because it uses liposuction techniques to extract the fat prior to injection. Treatment results last up to two years or more in some cases.
Fat augmentation can be combined with other facial plastic surgery procedures, including face lift (meloplasty) or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or independently.
