The use of fat cells from the patient's own fatty tissues for injections
is known in medical terms as "autologous fat transplantation" or "lipo-filling".
Normally the fat cells are taken from the abdominal, thigh or knee fat deposits
of the patient's own body and are ideally suited for building up sunken cheeks,
enhancing thin lips, filling in deep skin creases and eliminating laugh lines in
the lower facial area or lines in the forehead. In such cases, where a larger
amount of injection material is needed, lipo-filling is an excellent method to
use when it is correctly applied by a well-trained plastic surgeon. Tests have
shown that especially long lasting improvements can be achieved with this method
when used by a specialist who expertly extracts the fat cells and transplants
them to the areas where they are needed. This can result in as much as 50% or
more of the fat cells remaining where they are injected to permanently improve
the appearance of the treated area.
It is essential to the success of
your treatment that you put yourself in the hands of a highly qualified plastic
surgeon who can offer you "state of the art" procedures. Take advantage of our
