Rejuvenating Your Face
Signs of aging tend to sneak up on all of us. One day, your face looks the same as it has for years, and then suddenly, you’re looking in the mirror and realize you see wrinkles and hollow facial contours. While aging is a completely natural part of life, it can be challenging to grapple with how your appearance changes. This is especially difficult when you feel like aging signs are causing you to no longer look like you once did or to look exhausted when you still feel energetic and vital. This frustration can significantly impact your self-confidence. If you think that aging signs are negatively affecting your confidence, there are various facial rejuvenation treatments you may consider to achieve your desired results.
You’re probably familiar with synthetic injectables that aim to eliminate wrinkles, redefine facial contours, and overall rejuvenate the face. However, did you know that fat transfer is a procedure that utilizes your own unwanted body fat to achieve those same anti-aging facial goals? Dr. Messa performs facial fat transfer in Weston, FL, to help patients achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How Fat Transfer Works
To some people, the idea of using your own excess fat for facial rejuvenation may seem too good to be true. However, it really does just that. Fat transfer involves a relatively simple three-step process to enhance your facial features and fat harvest sites.
1. Liposuction
Your unwanted fat will be extracted from your body via liposuction. Dr. Messa will let you know your options for which areas fat can be removed from. Many patients choose to remove fat from the stomach, hips, thighs, or buttocks.
2. Preparing the Fat
Once the fat has been removed, it will be cleaned, processed, and prepared to be injected into the face.
3. Reinjecting the Fat
The fat is transferred into the chosen facial areas through the use of strategically placed injections.
What Are the Benefits of Using Fat Transfer for Facial Rejuvenation?
Many patients like facial fat transfer because of the following benefits:
- Improves the appearance of the face and the fat harvest site (abdomen, hips, etc.)
- No risk or allergic reaction to the fat injection (unlike synthetic injectables)
- Restores lost facial volume
- Fills in wrinkles, fine lines, and folds in the skin
What Do Facial Fat Transfer Results Look Like?
Fat transfer is able to address facial areas such as the temples, under-eyes, cheeks, area around the mouth, and the lips. After fat transfer, many patients enjoy having smooth, youthfully plump facial contours.
