Full face rejuvenation with fat
As we age, the face undergoes noticeable changes, manifesting the effects of aging. Facial volume diminishes due to a combination of factors, including the loss of fat volume, muscle atrophy, dermal thinning, and a reduction in bone girth. Gravity further contributes to the aging process by causing the descent of soft facial tissues, resulting in undesirable shadows and folds such as marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and tear troughs.
Facial rejuvenation with fat transfer, alternatively known as lipostructure or lipofilling, represents a dual surgical and non-surgical technique designed to restore volume and youthful contours to the face by transferring a person’s own fat to key facial areas.
The process involves autologous fat grafting or fat transfer, where a person’s fat is harvested, typically from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purified, and then strategically injected into targeted facial regions for various purposes.
How can opt for facial rejuvenation with fat transfer
The ideal candidate for facial rejuvenation with fat transfer is someone experiencing a loss of facial fullness and a shallower appearance. They should exhibit good skin elasticity, be in good overall health, and not have any medical conditions that could impede the healing process. Realistic expectations about the procedure are essential.
A suitable candidate typically presents with one or more of the following:
- Furrows or wrinkles on the face or neck
- Loss of facial volume in specific facial areas
- A diminished jawline
- Deep creases between the bottom of the nose and the corners of the mouth
Common areas of treatment:
- Cheeks
- Chin
- Jawline
- Lips
- Nasolabial and marionette lines
- Wrinkles around the mouth
Benefits of Facial rejuvenation with fat transfer:
The patient’s own body fat is extracted and skillfully injected into facial areas to achieve youthful and aesthetically pleasing.
The fat is sourced from common trouble spots like the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. This process is entirely natural, minimizing the risk of infection or rejection.
The procedure involving liposuction for fat harvesting is relatively straightforward.
The transplanted fat can have rejuvenating advantages, it may also heal the wounds and scars on the face.
Procedure Details:
Facial rejuvenation with fat transfer typically occurs under general anesthesia. For men, facial hair must be shaved off initially to ensure clear visualization during the procedure.
Fat is acquired through liposuction from donor sites, commonly the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. This involves injecting a solution into the donor site, waiting for the area to numb, making a small incision, and using a cannula to dislodge and suction out the fat.
The harvested fat contains various components like blood, oil, dead adipocytes, and local anesthetics, which may compromise graft uptake. Therefore, the harvested fat is processed to obtain the viable fat of interest. The refined fat is then injected into targeted facial areas for volume restoration and contour enhancement.
Downtime & Cost:
Typically, you can expect the swelling to reduce within the first week following your surgery. While it may not be classified as major cosmetic surgery, it is recommended to take a week off from work activities post-procedure. This downtime provides an opportunity for rest, facilitating a quicker recovery for your facial area.
The initial cost for fat transfer or fat injection usually begins at 15,000 AED. The ultimate cost of the treatment is subject to the specific details of the procedure, which can be discussed during your initial consultation.
