Nearly everyone has a feature on their face or body that they wish to enhance, either making it more trim and toned or adding volume and shape. Many people, however, are apprehensive about undergoing cosmetic surgery because of the notion of placing foreign substances, such as implants or gels, in the body. Fat transfer, which uses a patient’s own fat from one area of the body to enhance the appearance of another, is a revolutionary procedure that can put those reservations to rest. Dr. Berardi is proud to offer this innovative treatment to Scottsdale plastic surgery patients, finally making cosmetic enhancement available to those who were previously apprehensive. Read the paragraphs below to learn more about fat injections.
Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injections, is a versatile cosmetic treatment that uses liposuction to extract fat cells from an area of your body, which will later be used to enhance one of your other features. Fat injection treatment has several uses, including:
Facial fat transfer is an effective way to rejuvenate the face by using pure fat cells to restore a youthful appearance. Unlike dermal fillers, which eventually fade, fat transfer offers lasting improvement by smoothing facial wrinkles, softening smile lines, and reducing the appearance of marionette lines. The procedure enhances the skin’s texture while providing subtle volume in key areas such as the cheeks and under the eyes, creating a refreshed and naturally balanced look.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Berardi will carefully evaluate your body to determine the amount of fat available for transfer and review your medical history to ensure a safe procedure. He will then decide whether you have enough fat to achieve your desired results. This visit also provides an opportunity to discuss your cosmetic goals in detail, enabling Dr. Berardi to create a personalized treatment plan that enhances your natural features while ensuring safe and balanced outcomes.
Fat injection is appropriate for you if you are in good general health and wish to enhance and add volume to a specific part of your body. Many patients who are not eligible for other procedures can receive fat injections because they only require their own body tissues and cells. During your pre-surgery consultation, Dr. Berardi will explain all of the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as evaluate your candidacy for the procedure by assessing the area you wish to enhance.
Fat grafting is beneficial because it utilizes your own tissue and is permanent. This procedure has also been shown to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of overlying skin. Fat grafting is a permanent procedure and, therefore, does not require frequent injections, such as those with Juvederm or Restylane. Finally, fat injection treatment can produce the most natural look and feel, as the fat is naturally occurring and soft.
Dr. Berardi is proud to offer a range of sophisticated treatment options, enabling him to cater to the diverse needs of all plastic surgery patients.
