Fat-Grafting

Modern facial cosmetic procedures are frequently directed at restoring the volume of the face. In the past few years, we have come to understand that facial aging is accompanied by loss of fullness in the face is characteristic ways. In order to reverse this process, fillers have been utilized. One of the best fillers, due to the fact that it is a part of one’s own body, and that it is alive and will remain in place permanently, is fat. We tend to think of fat as something we would like to lose, but in this application, it is definitely beneficial. The procedure of autologous fat grafting (grafting or transferring one’s own fat cells) is straightforward and involves a minor liposuction procedure to harvest the fat, followed by cleaning the fat and placing it precisely where the volume restoration is needed. There is some loss of the volume initially as some of the fat cells do not “take”, but the cells that do survive will provide a permanent filling effect. Please contact Copeland Cosmetic Surgery in the St. Louis area for more information about autologous fat grafting.
