Fat transfer in Newport Beach offers a “two-in-one” benefit, enabling you to correct cosmetic facial issues with fat that has been transferred from another area of the body that has enough to spare.
Fat Transfer in Newport Beach
Three Steps to Expert Rejuvenation with Fat Transfer
Fat injection is a surgical procedure and is performed under general anesthesia. Collagen, Restylane®, and other injectable fillers are also available to fill fine lines and wrinkles, enhance lips, and smooth out depressed areas of the face.
Step One
Liposuction is used to harvest unwanted fat from the patient’s thighs, abdomen or lower back area.
Step Two
The surgeon sterilizes the fat cells, purifying and preparing them for injection.
Step Three
The fat is carefully injected into the areas of your face you’d like to add volume to in small amounts until the ideal look is achieved.
How Will I Look & Feel After the Fat Transfer?
- Because fat has a certain rate of absorption once injected, your surgeon will over-fill the area to allow for this absorption rate over the next several weeks.
- The areas injected will appear very puffy and “fat” and you will have bruising, swelling, or redness in the donor site as well as the injected areas treated.
- Although you may return to most activities immediately, if a large area was treated, it is advised to restrict activity for a short time.
- Most patients feel good enough to resume normal activities right away after their fat transfer in Newport Beach. However, you will be quite swollen. Those who don’t want others to know of their procedure may choose to wait a few days before going out into public.
- It is recommended that you avoid sun exposure until redness and bruising subside, usually after 48 hours.
Enjoying Your Fat Transfer Results
Fat injection results are significantly different for each patient. Some patients will have more absorption than others, and many have had results that last up to one year or more. Secondary injections are not uncommon and may be necessary to obtain the result you’re looking to achieve.
