Fat Injection to the Face

Fat injection to the face is a great alternative to most fillers. The fat-injection procedure is also known as autologous fat transplantation or micro-lipoinjection. Fat injection to the face involves extracting fat cells from the patient's body, such as the abdomen, hips, or thighs and then re-injecting them beneath the facial skin. Like the most fillers, fat will serve to fill out the facial hollows, creating a more youthful appearance. Fat is most often used to fill in "sunken" cheeks or laugh lines between the nose and mouth, and to enhance the lips. Some of the fat will dissipate, but the fat that remains after 3 months is typically would last for a few years. On occasion, the amount of fat that remains is insufficient and the process needs to be repeated. Dr. Simoni is able to perform fat injection to the face without any major anesthesia.  For more information visit fat injection section.
