Say goodbye to wrinkles and hello to restored facial volume with the aid of fat transfer injections. This procedure is used to harvest fat cells from areas with excess fatty tissue and transfer those cells to the face.

During fat transfer injections, your cosmetic surgeon will typically harvest enough fat cells from your body to slightly overfill the target facial areas. Not all of the fat cells will survive the transfer, and overfilling ensures that there will be enough living fat cells to keep the areas filled to the patient’s liking.

Fat transfer injections are a multi-step process. To find out more and have your questions answered, speak with cosmetic surgeon Dr. Steve Ahmed. Dr. Ahmed is an experienced medical professional with a great deal of precision and technical skill. Contact our office to arrange an appointment.

Interested in facial rejuvenation with an injectable filler that looks and feels natural? Consider fat transfer. Fat transfer is a process involving injections of fat cells harvested from the patient’s body, and it all begins with minor liposuction.

Liposuction, a procedure used to remove and harvest excess fat cells, requires anesthesia. In the case of fat transfer, only local anesthesia will typically be necessary. A small incision is then created to give the plastic surgeon access to the underlying fatty tissues. Following this, medical suction is used to carefully harvest fat cells for the injection process.

Dr. Steve Ahmed, a highly skilled cosmetic surgeon, can explain the fat transfer process in further detail during a consultation. To arrange a consultation with Dr. Ahmed, contact us today.
