Fat Transfer in West Jordan
Q. Would I be a good candidate for fat transfer?
You might be a good candidate for fat transfer if you have one of the following:
- Thinning lips
- 2). Flat or hollow cheeks
- 3) Flat or hollow eye areas
Q. What is the purpose of facial fat grafting?
As we age, our facial fat can diminish, leaving a hollow or deflated appearance. Facial fat grafting, also known as fat transfer, can restore volume to these areas, offering a rejuvenated and youthful look. Unlike temporary fillers, fat grafting can provide lasting results, often for many years.
Q. Where do you obtain the fat?
Dr. Urban will harvest the fat from your abdomen, hips, or inner thigh. The fat will then be processed and then injected into the areas of facial fat atrophy. Because of the advanced and reliable technique he uses, a significant number of these fat cells will survive and graft to fill in the areas of treatment. Fat grafting is performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation. All surgery is performed on an outpatient basis in our state-of-the-art Joint Commission operating room, complete with all of the required monitoring, anesthesia delivery and emergency equipment. When this procedure is done correctly by a Board-Certified Facial Cosmetic Surgeon like Dr. Urban, the results can be wonderful.
Q. What should I expect during recovery?
Post-procedure, you may experience swelling, tenderness, and a temporary appearance of worsening before improvement. These effects typically subside within about 10 days, after which you’ll begin to see the benefits of a more youthful and refreshed look.
