Fat Transplantation
(Fat Transfer) |
|
A fat transfer can be used to
correct skin defects such as deep furrows and wrinkles
on the face and other depressions on other areas of the
body. This procedure re-contours the face and corrects
facial or body deformities.
The Procedure For Fat Transfer
Both the donor site (area from which fat is taken) and
the recipient site (area to be treated) are
anesthetized. A needle attached to a syringe is inserted
onto the donor site in a location which has a thick
layer of fat such as the lower stomach, thigh or
buttocks. Fat cells, are aspirated or drawn into the
syringe are purified and then carefully re-injected into
the recipient site. The process is repeated until the
desired amount of fat has been transferred and the
defect corrected. A pressure bandage is applied to the
donor site and sometimes to the recipient site to
prevent blood clots and swelling. It usually requires
three fresh fat transfers for full correction. |

After Your Fat Transfer |
|
| There is minimal pain connected with
the procedure and any discomfort is controlled with oral
medication. Patients are up and around the day of
surgery; however, strenuous activities should be avoided
for some time. |
