WHAT IS STRUCTURAL FAT GRAFTING?

Structural fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure that restores precise amounts of volume to the face. It can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds and restore the youthful appearance of cheeks that have take on a hollowed look due to volume loss.

The first step of structural fat grafting is harvesting the fat from an area like the stomach, buttocks, or thighs. A needle that utilizes air suction is used to extract the fat. The fat must then be separated from any additional fluids gathered during the harvesting. Once the fat has been purified, it is placed in several syringes and injected into the face.

Does anybody really “Need” a Park Avenue Facelift?

I think if we look at this question there are a few questions to ask & answer. If we substitute “Manhattan Facelift” for “Park Avenue Facelift” or even “Beverly Hills Facelift” we know for a fact it is going to be awfully expensive.

FAT GRAFTING AND FAT TRANSFER REVERSAL

Fat grafting creates a natural augmentation for the face using your own “filler”. Fat is usually harvested from the abdomen, flanks, or inner thighs; and about one third of the volume remains after the treatment.
