Fat Transplantation

Who is a candidate: Any individual who desires a more youthful appearance or who has scars, sags, depressions, or wrinkles to fill is a candidate.

Procedure: The procedure involves the removal of fat from one part of the body, treating it by centrifugation, washing it, and then carefully placing the fat into the new area. The adipocytes, or fat cells, that survive the transfer result in a permanent correction.

Healing: Recovery from the surgical procedure is usually 7 to 10 days.
