THE PROCEDURE

What is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed by a board certified facial plastic surgeon. This procedure involves the use of a patient’s own fat cells, extracted from one part of the body, and then injected into another area to enhance volume or size. Common areas for fat transfer include the breasts for breast augmentation, the buttocks for size increase, cheeks & under eye hollows, and the lips for lip augmentation.

One of the key benefits of fat transfer is that it uses a natural substance from the patient’s own body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and complications. This is a significant advantage over dermal fillers and implants, which may require extensive recovery time and carry a higher risk of complications.

The Fat Transfer Procedure

Dr. Rubinstein performs the facial fat transfer procedure at his state-of-the-art Joint Commission fully certified surgical suite.The procedure is designed to revitalize facial features and restore a youthful glow using the patient’s own body fat, providing natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Procedure steps include:

Oral sedatives and relaxant medications are given. Some patients may elect to have general anesthesia.
A local anesthetic is administered to help with patient comfort throughout the procedure.
A special cannula harvests excess fat from a donor area of the body, typically the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs. This must be performed slowly and gently so as not to damage the fat cells.
This technique is designed to distribute the fat evenly in the treatment area for natural-looking results.

The extracted fat cells are then purified in a process designed to remove impurities and prepare the fat for transfer. This step is critical as these impurities can kill the fat cells.
The purified fat is then strategically injected into the treatment area using a technique known as lipoinjection or microlipoinjection. The technique used for the fat injection is the key to whether or not the fat cells survive in their new desired location.

This process contributes to a natural and long-lasting result, as the body does not recognize the transferred fat as a foreign substance.

Dr. Rubinstein is committed to providing innovative treatments that enhance natural beauty while prioritizing patient safety and satisfaction. On average about 50% of the fat survives and final results are seen 6 months post procedure.

Donor Sites for Facial Fat Grafting

Fat transfer involves carefully removing fat from donor sites on the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, where fat deposits are typically more abundant.

The choice of donor site depends on factors such as the patient’s anatomy, past history of liposuction, the amount of fat needed, and the desired outcome. Each donor site has its advantages and considerations, which are discussed with the patient during the consultation.

Potential Facial Fat Grafting Complications

While fat transfer is generally considered a safe procedure, there are potential complications associated with any surgery. Infection is a small risk, but allergic reactions are not a concern, as no synthetic materials are used in the procedure. When large clumps are injected, the fat cells die which can lead to cysts and infection. In rare cases, none of the fat may survive beyond the 6 month mark despite meticulous techniques. With a focus on patient safety, Dr. Rubinstein takes every precaution to minimize risks during the fat transfer process.

Fat Transfer Recovery

Fat transfer is a popular facial rejuvenation procedure that can help restore volume and create a more youthful appearance. If you’re considering this treatment, it’s important to understand what to expect during the recovery process. Here’s what to consider:

Following Dr. Rubinstein’s post-operative instructions and taking proper care of yourself contributes to a smooth recovery period and the best possible results from your facial fat transfer procedure.

Fat Transfer FAQ

What is fat transfer surgery?

Fat transfer surgery is a procedure that involves harvesting excess fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, and injecting it into another area to add volume and improve contours. This treatment is commonly used to address facial volume loss, smooth out wrinkles and lines, and plump the lips or cheeks. Fat transfer provides a more natural alternative to implants or synthetic fillers.

Does fat transfer feel natural?

Yes, fat transfer procedures are known for their natural results because they utilize your body's own fat to enhance the treated area. Unlike synthetic fillers or implants, which can sometimes feel foreign, the transferred fat integrates seamlessly with your body's tissues. This integration not only helps achieve a natural feel but also promotes a more authentic appearance. This is because the fat becomes part of your body rather than a separate substance.

How long does fat transfer last?

The results of a fat transfer procedure can be long-lasting, often providing a more youthful appearance that can last for years. However, it's essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow the surgeon's post-operative care instructions to prolong the results and maintain your rejuvenated appearance. While the body may reabsorb some of the transferred fat over time, at least 50% of the fat cells will typically survive and continue to provide volume and improved contours. Touch-up treatments may be necessary to maintain results in some cases.

There is no specific best age for a facial fat transfer, as it depends on each individual's unique needs and aesthetic goals. However, candidates for this procedure are typically those seeking to improve signs of aging, such as loss of volume, under-eye bags, smile lines, uneven skin texture, and scars. Dr. Rubinstein does caution however that it's important to maintain a stable weight after this procedure. Significant weight gain after fat transfer can lead to excess facial volume.

How much fat is needed for fat transfer to the face?

The amount of fat needed for a facial fat transfer varies depending on the individual's desired outcome. Generally, around 10-100 milliliters of fatty tissue harvested from another area of the body is used during the procedure. However, this can vary depending on the patient's needs and aesthetic goals.
