I've heard about a procedure where my body fat can be transferred or injected on my under eye area for dark circles and hollowness. Is this safe, and will results be permanent?

Answer: Fat transfer for under eyes Hi, thank you for this question, and this is one of the most consistently asked questions in our practice. Unlike fillers, fat is a living cell-adipocytes. When we remove fat from one part of the body, we are cutting off the circulation to these cells and they will die unless they receive new blood supply. When we place these fat to a new place, we are expecting new source of blood supply to grow. Once they do, the fat cells will survive and they will last for a very long time. So it is crucial that the techniques used to harvest fat, purification, and placement of fat in the new location all increase the possibility of fat survival. When these techniques are used, fat grafting is very consistent a wonderful method to volumize with a natural and long lasting result.

Answer: Fat Transfer for Under Eye Hollows Fat grafting to the area of the lower eyelids does work if done correctly. It can also be permanent. Caution must be exercised to avoid over filling, and to avoid serious complications such as loss of vision.

Answer: I've heard about a procedure where my body fat can be transferred or injected on my under eye area for dark circles and hollowne This is a very effective treatment when properly performed. The results are very long lasting although the face will, naturally, continue to age over time. I have been performing fat grafts to the under eye area for 25 years and have seen many outstanding and long-lasting results. Make sure you seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with a lot of experience performing this procedure.
