Facial Fat Transfer Surgery
The most common facial locations for fat transfer include:
- - Filling in sunken areas beneath the eyes
- - Fleshing out the folds of skin that physicians know as nasolabial folds, the deep wrinkles next to the mouth often referred to as “laugh lines.”
- - Filling in forehead creases
- - Cheek Augmentation
Lip augmentation
Tiny, punch-like incisions are made at one corner of the patient’s mouth. Then one to two millimeter thick strips of fat from the donor site are taken and gently worked into the upper and lower lips for a plumping effect that is reported to be safer, softer and more natural than lip augmentation with popular injectable facial fillers like or filler materials.
