Fat transfer, a cosmetic procedure offered by Dr. Ramesh, involves the redistribution of a patient’s own body fat to enhance facial contours. This minimally invasive technique can address volume loss and rejuvenate the entire face and the periocular area, providing natural-looking results with long-lasting benefits.
What is fat transfer?
Restore facial volume using natural fat
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is a cosmetic procedure that involves harvesting fat from one area of the body, typically the abdomen or thighs, and transferring it to another area, such as the face. This technique addresses volume loss, filling in wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. The harvested fat is purified and injected into targeted areas, providing natural-looking and long-lasting results for facial rejuvenation and enhancement.
Fat transfer treats:
- Volume loss in the face
- Hollow or sunken areas
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Facial asymmetry
- Scars or depressions
- Aging hands
- Lips, cheeks, or chin contour issues
Types of fat transfer offered by Dr. Ramesh
Full-face fat transfer
Full-face fat transfer begins with the extraction of fat cells from donor sites on the body through gentle liposuction. These fat cells are processed to remove impurities and prepared for injection. Using small, specialized needles, the purified fat is transferred to targeted areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye hollows. This technique restores lost volume and stimulates collagen production, resulting in natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
Periocular fat transfer
Periocular fat transfer also involves the precise extraction of fat cells from donor areas using liposuction, and these harvested fat cells are purified to remove impurities and excess fluids. However, in Periocular fat transfer, the purified fat is injected into specifically targeted areas around the eyes, such as the tear troughs and hollows, to rejuvenate the periocular region. This addresses hollowing, dark circles, and wrinkles around the eyes, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Advantages of fat transfer:
- Utilizes the patient’s own natural tissue
- Provides long-lasting results
- Enhances facial volume and contours
- Minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or rejection
- It can be performed as a minimally invasive procedure
- Simultaneously removes unwanted fat from donor sites
- Improves skin texture and quality through the stimulation of collagen production
- Offers a natural-looking and youthful appearance
- Customizable to meet individual aesthetic goals
- Reduces the need for synthetic fillers or implants
Side effects and recovery after fat transfer
After fat transfer, you may experience temporary side effects, such as swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort at the injection sites. These subside within a week or two. Downtime is minimal, allowing you to resume most normal activities within a few days. However, strenuous exercise and sun exposure should be avoided for a short period. Results gradually improve as swelling diminishes, with final outcomes visible within a few months.
