While cosmetic procedures and treatments continue to rise in popularity, many potential patients still avoid procedures. The reasons for withgoing cosmetic enhancements are endless, but one of the chief reasons amongst most wary patients revolves around the artificial makeup of most cosmetic solutions.
Luckily, continued advancements in plastic surgery have led researchers to seek more natural solutions that provide lower risks and better results, like the newest injectable treatment option—fat transfer for facial rejuvenation.
A Natural Alternative to Injectables
Unlike traditional facial fillers and injectables, fat grafting uses no artificial ingredients. Instead, fat transfers harvests your fat, and relocates it without any additives.
Older Patients See More Benefits
Traditional injectables have been widely reserved for younger patients with some skin elasticity remaining. Older patients were encouraged to opt for more invasive surgeries to achieve their goals in the past, but the introduction of fat grafting has opened injectables up to older patients.
It’s Safe and Minimally Invasive
Facial Rejuvenation via fat grafting requires no incisions, making for a much quicker recovery. Symptoms of discomfort are minimal when compared to a facelift, and there are no resulting scars. Patients can undergo their fat transferal and continue their usual routine immediately after.
There are Plenty of Areas to Harvest Fat
While there may be one area on your body where you pay particular attention to fat buildup, are there a variety of areas where excess fat can accumulate. Many patients have their fat harvested from the thighs, buttocks, or abdomen. Additionally, patients can undergo multiple fat transfers thanks to the plethora of fatty deposits available.
A Simple Process
Though new, the fat grafting process is relatively simple and completely safe. First, liposuction is performed to harvest fat cells, then those cells are sterilized, and finally, those fat cells are then transferred into the new site. In just three easy steps, you can experience incredible transformations.
A Plethora of Benefits
On top of being the most low-risk injectable on the market, utilizing your own DNA to improve your appearance ensures the changes apparent with fat grafting far outweigh those of other injectables. Patients considering fat transfers for facial rejuvenation can look forward to improvement in scarring, a reversion to their youthful features, and longer-lasting results.
Patience is Key
Minimal results may be apparent after your operation, but swelling and redness will most likely hide these results for a while. Being patient while your results settle can help you keep a cool head and limit excessive stress. Most patients’ swelling will subside within a week and the result will become visible.
