Fat Injections

Description

This procedure will remove a patient’s own fat to re-implant it where needed. It is typically extracted from body parts like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks and injected into another area that requires plumping, such as a patient’s facial features. 

Length

About 2 to 4 hours.

Side Effects

Swelling, discomfort and bruising.

Recovery

Little to no downtime; patients should be able to return to normal activities within a few days.

Risks

Small risk of infection and other infrequent complications. Allergic reaction is not a factor for fat injectable fillers because it is harvested from a patient's own body.

Results

Fat injections and grafting can improve the creased and sunken areas of the face, and add fullness to the lips and cheeks.
