FAT TRANSFER TO THE FACE, HANDS AND BREASTS Fat transfer or fat grafting is a stitch-free, anesthesia-free procedure that transfers fat from areas of the body where you have excess fat, like the abdomen or outer thigh. It is then injected into areas of your body that may be lacking volume, such as your face, hands and breasts. This procedure is safe, long lasting, painless and produces natural-looking results. YOU CAN CONSIDER FAT TRANSFER WHEN: • You desire more permanent, cost-effective results than are possible with temporary fillers • You wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill depressions and rejuvenate your hands and face • You desire fuller, more even breasts, have had implants removed, or would like to fill in the upper breast volume often lost after childbirth and/or breastfeeding FACIAL FAT TRANSFER: If you have signs of facial aging, such as laugh lines, smile lines, and crow’s feet, fat can be removed from your abdomen, thighs, or other areas and injected into your face. Acne scars and sunken areas of the face, temples, lips, and cheeks can also be filled in. Unlike artificial fillers, the fat lasts for years. NATURAL BREAST AUGMENTATION: Also referred to as Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation, it is a breast enhancement procedure designed to increase breast size without the use of implants. Using liposuction, fat is taken from another area of the body and gently transferred to your breasts. If you desire an increase in general breast size, shape, or want to ‘fill-in’ areas of lost volume, you are a good candidate for fat grafting to the breasts. HAND REJUVENATION WITH FAT GRAFTING: Fat grafting in the hands is effective for adding volume, smoothing out wrinkled areas, covering underlying vessels and tendons and improving the quality of your skin over time. Results can last for many years. If you are in good health, have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, you are most likely a good candidate for these procedures. 48
