Q: Fat harvesting process for "live" fat injections asked by HKKitty
A:
Usually fat harvesting and transfer is carried out under IV sedation with local anesthesia. The procedure is intended to be done to rejuvenate global facial volume loss, but can be tailored to smaller areas in younger patients.
The procedure can be performed in younger patients or older, but older patients tend to benefit from incisional procedures at the same time. The recovery can vary from about 10 days to 3 weeks depending upon the amount of fat transferred.
