Fat Transfer

    /24-7PressRelease/ - June 06, 2008 - Have you heard of things like injectable fillers to plump up parts of your face? You can now have your own fat transferred from one part of your face to another to smooth out depressions, creases, and wrinkles and give your whole face a youthful new look.

Why Would You Want a Fat Transfer?

A fat transfer will help to plump up and smooth out places on your face making you look younger. These parts include:

• Cheeks
• Creases
• Depressions or shallow areas
• Eyes
• Lips
• Scars
• Temples
• Wrinkles

Fat Transfers vs. Injectable Fillers

The difference between fat transfers and injectable fillers is that fat transfers use your own supply of fat. Fillers typically use collagen from human or animal sources, but sometimes people have allergic reactions to these fillers. With a fat transfer you are getting you own tissue so the chances of infection or rejection are slim to none.

Also, the results of fat transfers are generally much longer lasting then injectable fillers. Fat transfers usually last anywhere from a couple of months to a couple of years, and sometimes they have even been known to be permanent.

Excellent Candidates for Fat Transfer

People who make excellent candidates for a fat transfer procedure include adults who have facial creases, indentations, or areas they would like plumped up (like lips).

Those who don't usually make good fat transfer candidates include:

• Smokers
• Blood thinner users
• Those on medication for a serious disease or illness
• Those taking birth control

Benefits of Fat Transfer

There are many benefits to fat transfer, especially as compared to traditional injectable fillers.

These include:

• Long-lasting results
• Natural-looking and natural-feeling results
• No allergic reactions
• Safer than other methods currently in use
• Short recuperation
• Simple process
• Supple results

Risks of Fat Transfer

There are very few risks with a fat transfer. In fact, the only negligible risks associated with fat transfer include soreness or swelling at the transfer site.

Fat transfer procedures are excellent facial rejuvenation procedures whether used in conjunction with facelifts or in place of them. They recontour your face into something from your youth of which you can be proud.
