A fat transfer can be used to correct skin irregularities 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.
It is also indicated to enhance body areas such as cheeks, chin, buttocks and calves.
The Procedure For Fat Transfer involves local anaesthesia in both the donor site (area from which fat is taken) and the recipient site (area to be treated. 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.
There is always some percentage of fat resorption depending upon the areas treated hence 2-3 sessions may be needed to achieve the desired result.
