Fat injections, sometimes known as fat transfer procedure is the technique used to move fat from one area of the body to another.

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.

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. Fat injections 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 unlikely. 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 can be long lasting. The amount of time between injections depends on the injection site and your body’s own ability to reabsorb the fat. It is necessary to overcorrect the deformity to allow for some absorption by the body. Usually the fat that remains at 4 months will be the final result achieved.
