Fat grafting surgery can help you achieve a fuller, more youthful look. If you have depressed scars, indentations in your skin or deep wrinkles, fat grafting can help. This procedure can also help minimize facial fat loss due to aging. Dr. Pedro M. Soler is an outstanding fat grafting surgeon in Tampa, performing this procedure for patients in the surrounding areas of Clearwater and St. Petersburg, FL.
What Is Facial Fat Transfer Surgery?
Fat grafting is a surgical procedure in which surgeons transfer fat from one body part to another. Candidates rely on this surgery to:
- Restore volume: A fat transfer can address sunken or hollow areas by restoring volume.
- Enhance facial contours: Facial contouring with fat grafting can enhance cheek fullness and contour the jawline and chin.
- Improve skin texture: By smoothing out wrinkles, skin appears more hydrated and youthful.
- Repair facial scars: If you have scars or depressions, a facial fat transfer can improve their appearance.
How Is Fat Grafting Performed?
This fat transfer may require local anesthesia and sedation in case large amounts of fat need to be suctioned. Although recovery varies, there is hardly any postsurgical pain, but there may be slight bruising and swelling. You may require more than one fat grafting session in order to achieve your desired goals.
The Advantages of Fat Grafting
A facial fat transfer is a minimally invasive procedure that does not rely on incisions to access target areas. When fat is injected into the target area, patients won’t have any incision marks, and the healing process is fast. Additionally, fat grafting is a dual benefit, removing fat from areas where patients want a slimmer look and injecting it into another area for a youthful, plump appearance.
Who Can Receive Facial Fat Grafting?
As you age, you may experience volume loss in your face. The fat pads in your cheeks may shrink, creating eye bags, and your lips might lose some volume. Facial volume enhancement surgery can address these natural signs of aging, leaving your skin plump and smoother.
A good candidate for this procedure is:
- In good health.
- Close to their ideal weight.
- A non-smoker or willing to quit.
