Fat Transfer Seattle
Seattle Cosmetic Surgery – Fat Transfer
A popular alternative to other wrinkle and contouring treatments, fat transfer can plump up facial features, using fat collected from the patient’s own body. Fat transfer to the face is a safe, natural, non-allergic procedure used to augment lips, fill facial folds, and restore facial volume for a more youthful look. It can also be used to correct facial aging or deformities as well as contouring in other body areas, such as the hands, buttocks, and breasts. The use of the patient’s own tissue offers the benefit of natural-looking results and a decreased risk of the body rejecting the transferred tissue.
During a fat transfer procedure in Seattle with cosmetic surgeon Dr. Jonov, a small amount of fat is extracted from areas, such as the hips or abdomen, or buttock using a liposuction technique. It is then prepared and injected into the desired area of treatment. Harvesting the fat cells for transfer is often performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as liposuction, tummy tuck or cosmetic breast surgery.
When fat is harvested during another procedure, it is often possible for your surgeon to harvest a larger amount of fat, then freeze and store it for future injections as necessary. Results from fat injections can last several years or longer.
