How does a fat transfer work?
With a fat transfer, the surgeon will remove unwanted fat from another area of your body – such as the thighs or buttocks. He will then inject the fat into any features that would benefit from added volume.
A fat transfer is an all-natural procedure that can enhance and smooth skin throughout your face and body, using your own fat as a filler.
Your fat transfer procedure can be done under local anesthesia. To begin, the surgeon will perform gentle liposuction to remove unwanted fatty tissue. He will then cleanse the fat to remove excess liquid and impurities, before artfully injecting it into the treatment area.
Because some of the injected fat is reabsorbed by the body, most Rockford fat transfer patients need three to four treatments for ideal results. Once your sessions are complete, your skin can maintain its new, plump appearance for a few years.
