Imagine Your Perfect Face

Fat Injections

Fat injections minimize facial and other skin wrinkles and depressions.

The patient’s own fat is collected (suctioned) from a distant donor area and reinjected into the defect area. Fat transfer may require sedation plus local anesthesia if larger amounts of fat are to be collected. Small amounts of fat can be collected and transferred under local anesthesia.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Postoperative pain is usually minimal. The most common postoperative issue is swelling and some bruising. This is highly variable based on individual healing characteristics. Swelling could last as long as two weeks.
