Fat Transfers (Fat Grafting, Fat Autografting, Fat Injections)

An exciting option in contouring the face and body uses your own fat, taken from a part of the body with excess fat (the “donor site”).
Products such as Restylane® and Juvederm® are excellent means to fill and reduce the visibility of facial wrinkles and folds.. Fat injections can be used to fill folds and enhance contours such as the lips, cheeks,and pre-jowl folds. Aging changes in the face can include loss of volume due to thinning of the skin and loss of fat in certain areas, like the cheeks, cheekbones and lips. Using your own fat to replace lost facial volume can be a very natural and excellent alternative to other facial fillers (Collagen, Restylane®, Perlane®, Artefill®, and Juvederm®.
Fat Injections are performed as an out-patient procedure with either local anesthetic or with other procedures, such as Facelift, using sedation. After injecting numbing medication, Dr. Zwiebel removes fat from the “donor site,” usually the abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Using a needle and a syringe, Dr. Zwiebel extracts the fat from the donor site and then reinserts it into the treatment area.
Recovery time after Fat Injection is usually very quick. Most of our patients will experience minor bruising and swelling for several days following the procedure..
Fat Injections seem to work best for filling areas like the cheeks at the time of facelift. We have had best results using other injectable fillers like Restylane® and Juvederm® for fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the lips and eyelids.
Fat Injections are very useful for filling body contour irregularities, such as depressions from injury or previous surgery. Fat Injections can also be very helpful in refining results after Breast Augmentation, to smoothen wrinkles and conceal palpable implant edges or folds, if they occur.
The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for fat grafting is through individual evaluation. Like all surgical procedures, Fat Injections entail some risks. We encourage all patients to learn as much about the procedures and recovery before undergoing a procedure.
We look forward to helping you learn more during a personalized consultation.
