Discover the Benefits of a Fat Transfer

 

Fat transfers are increasing in popularity alongside artificial fillers and injectables. With the emergence 

of modern technology and new medical techniques, fat transfers offer increased benefits. 



What is fat transfer?

A fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is transferring excess fat from problem areas 

and injecting it into bodily parts lacking in volume such as breasts, the face, hands or buttocks. The 

procedure is safe, long-lasting, and well-tolerated by many.

 

Who is a good candidate for the procedure?

Patients with generally good health, strong circulatory systems, optimistic attitudes and realistic 

expectations are candidates for fat transfers.


What is an Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT)?

An Autologous fat transfer is a facial fat transfer procedure where fat injections are re-injected to the 

face to improve facial fullness, fill creases or build up shallow contours of the cheeks and temple area.  

Additionally, the treatment smoothes thinning lips and erases under-eye bags and dark circles.


Why is the Autologous Fat Transfer treatment popular?

  • Can be performed while awake in an office setting 

  • Lasts longer than fillers

  • Less expensive 

  • Simple and safe 


What is the Autologous Fat Transfer treatment also known as?

  • Autologous fat grafting

  • Facial fat rejuvenation

  • Lipofilling

  • Micro-lipo injection

  • Nano fat injection

Fat Transfer Treatment Options


1. Facial Fat Transfer: Fat can be removed from the thighs, abdomen or other areas and injected into 

the face for:

  • Acne Scars

  • Facial Creases (Laugh Lines, Smile Lines and Crow’s Feet)

  • Forehead Creases

  • Nasolabial Lines

  • Sunken Areas of the Cheeks, Lips and Face

 

2. Breast Augmentation: The treatment is ideal for patients with nicely shaped breasts. Exempted 

from the procedure are sagging breasts, those with poor skin tone or those wanting significant addition 

in breast size.    

 

3. Breast Implants and Fat Grafting

Ideal procedures for patients with:

  • The need for enhancing breast shape during an implant procedure.

  • Residual breasts accompanied by irregularities following breast augmentation with the implant 

    procedure. 

 

4. Butt Lift with Fat Grafting: Best for patients with 10 or more extra pounds of fat available.

 

5. Hand Rejuvenation with Fat Grafting

  • Adds volume

  • Covers blood vessels and tendons 

  • Improves skin quality

  • Plumps wrinkled areas

Fat Transfer Benefits


1. Removes Unwanted Fat

Removing fat brings balance, beauty and symmetry to the body. Common areas for fat harvesting 

include:

  • Buttocks

  • Hips

  • Inner thighs 

  • Outer thighs  

  • Love handles

  • Lower abdomen    

  • Upper abdomen

 

2. Provides a Youthful Appearance

Though dermal fillers and facelifts are excellent options to appear young, fat transfers deliver more 

natural and longer-lasting solutions. Fat transfers are ideal for:

  • Face contouring

  • Filling facial wrinkles and creases

  • Smoothing scars

 

3. Lasts Longer than Fillers

Artificial fillers typically lasts 6 to 12 months and require more expensive replacements. Fat transfers 

last 2 years or more.

 

4. Minimally Invasive

This procedure is much less invasive than a facelift, leaves no scarring and does not require major 

downtime after the treatment. Patients can resume normal activities right away. 

 

5. Fills Lost Volumes

Fat transfers fill in areas of the face or body which have lost volume including sunken cheeks, grooves 

running from the nose to mouth, eye corners, tiny imperfections and lips.

 

6. Increases Defined Areas

Fat transfers can enlarge breast and improve the appearance of the arms, buttocks or calves.       

 

7. Improves Skin

Fat transfers fill in wrinkled skin, making it appear smoother, plumper and rejuvenated.

 

8. Increases Fullness and Roundness of Buttocks

Patients desiring a fuller, rounder buttocks can remove fat from the abdomen or thighs and inject it into 

their buttocks. Fat transfers to the buttocks, also known as a Brazilian butt lift, are best for women and 

men who want to improve flat, unshapely and sagging buttocks.

Jeuveau-The Newest Neurotoxin

Image
In our quest to look more youthful, the war on wrinkles continues to evolve. First there was Botox , then came Dysport , an injectable form of botulinum toxin that frees those facial muscles to soften your fine lines and wrinkles. What is the latest weapon you ask? Well, we will tell you! Skin Secrets is now offering Newtox Jeuveau Injections. Like Botox, Botulinum Toxin Type A is the active ingredient in Jeuveau . This product allows us to treat frown lines and those vertical lines between your eyebrows. It is injected directly into the muscle to temporarily relax and reduce muscle contractions that cause wrinkles and lines . Why Choose Jeuveau over Botox or Dysport? It’s been ten years since the last neurotoxin came on the market! Selecting one type of neuromodulator over another is pretty much based on aesthetic goals, patient experience, and the desire to try something new! However, an exciting possible benefit is that Jeuveau could last longer than other wrinkle relaxers. Du...
