Fat Injections in Sydney (Also known as the Fat Transfer Procedure)
Fat injections, sometimes known as fat transfer procedure is the technique used to move fat from one area of the body to another. Your own body fat can be used to fill lips, nasiolabial folds, provide definition to cheeks or to the jaw line or to fill any depressed or scarred areas of the face.
As we get older, the underlying tissues that plump up our skin and keep us looking youthful begin to break down. This is the natural aging process and leads to the appearance of features such as lines and wrinkles. Fat injection is a procedure that can help improve these various signs of aging.
Fat injections can be used in various areas of the face:
- Filling in deep facial wrinkles and creases
- Plumping up sunken areas and deep folds
- Adding fullness to the lips and cheeks
- Creating an overall better balance to one’s facial symmetry
 Because fat injections use your own body fat, an allergic reaction is prevented. As with any cosmetic procedure, there is always a small possibility of infection and other complications, although these are rare.
The results of fat injections are not permanent. The body will eventually reabsorb the fat from the injection site, so top-ups are necessary. The amount of time between injections depends on the injection site and your body’s own ability to reabsorb the fat. Typically, you may need top-ups every 6 months.
Plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift, will provide a longer lasting result than non-surgical procedures like fat injections.
If you have been considering fat injections, schedule a consultation with Dr Tew. We can then determine together whether you are a good candidate and discuss possible outcomes with you.
