Facial Fat Transfer in Vancouver, BC. -- how is the fat harvested and injected?

Fat transfer is an excellent method of restoring volume to the face. It is harvested from the tummy, love handles, or thighs, and prepared into special syringes. The fat is then strategically injected into the needed areas, such as cheeks, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, lips, temples, etc. Not only does fat provide volume, it also delivers stem cells which have been shown to be a great benefit to the final appearance. Ask your plastic surgeon about this amazing treatment. Good luck. 

the majority of fat grafting now is either nano or micro which are basically the same.  the most important thing is to harvest using gentle extraction, filter with puregraft, and inject along with PRP and stem cells for the most viability.  Hyperbaric oxygen should be done everyday for 7-10 days after treatment. I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

lepheb.  Fat transfer from the tummy or thighs to the face is an excellent option for people of all ages. Younger patients can enhance their cheekbones or lips with fat that is natural and long lasting. As we age, our face deflates, losing fat, causing sagging skin to look more obvious. Fat grafting to the face rejuvenates the face with biological filler, your own fat! I frequently use fat transfer to my facelift patients to enhance and prolong the result. Depending on the individual, one treatment does the trick, but sometimes secondary touch ups are needed.  I would not consider traveling to Korea for this procedure as I am certain there are excellent board-certified plastic surgeons in Canada that do this operation. Good luck!

Fat grafting begins with harvesting fat somewhere on your body, commonly the abdomen, waist, or thighs.  The fat is them placed in  small syringes and using small cannula the fat is them injected into the desired regions. It often has to be repeated more than once to achieve the desired result.
