Answer: Using Fat that was stored in the freezer...
Having fat injections is a great non-invasive procedure to smooth out that the nasolabial folds. Your doctor will take out your fat and then process it for your first injection and then freezer storage. Fat stays "fresh" in the freezer for one year so enough is taken out to use throughout the year. Subsequent injections are normally done every 8-10 weeks. After each injection your fat will build up more and more to create a long lasting result, smoothing out the folds over the year. Make an appointment with your plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate for this procedure.

Answer: Don't freeze fat
Fat transfer is an excellent technique to naturally augment your facial features with your own tissue. I do not save fat cells for second use nor do I recommend freezing fat cells. Patients may require a second or third fat grafting session for optimal results and the fat should be harvested at each session for best graft take.

Answer: Frozen Fat Works
Fat-grafting is a great way to naturally improve areas where we need a little more volume. Fat is delicate and a living substance. When it is transferred, it has to re-establish a blood supply in order to survive. Before this happens, a portion of the fat is re-absorbed by the body. Typically 30% to 50% is re-absorbed. Suprisingly, frozen fat can be used for grafting. Survival is not quite as good as the first time around, but survival has been shown. There is some debate as to whether the fat cells survive or whether the stem cells discovered amongst the harvested fat develop into new fat cells or a combination of the two occurs.
