Fat Grafting
t Rejuuvmed, we’re all about helping you feel confident and look your best. One of the services we’re proud to offer is fat grafting, a natural way to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance your features. This procedure uses your own fat to bring a fresh, youthful vibe back to your face or other areas. Let’s dive into how it works and why so many people love it!
What is Fat Grafting?
Fat grafting, also called fat transfer, is exactly what it sounds like. Our surgeons take fat from one part of your body—like your thighs, tummy, or flanks—and transfer it to areas where you’d like more volume, like your cheeks, lips, or even hands.
The fat is carefully processed (we use techniques like centrifugation to purify it), so only the best, healthiest fat cells are injected back into your body. The result? A totally natural look and feel that lasts longer than traditional dermal fillers.
Why Choose Fat Grafting?
Am I a Good Candidate?
If you’re wondering whether fat grafting is right for you, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Do You Have Donor Fat? If you have a little extra fat in areas like your tummy or thighs, we can use that for the procedure.
Your Goals: Fat grafting is perfect if you want natural, subtle enhancements rather than dramatic changes.
Concerns Like Volume Loss: This is a great option if you’re dealing with hollow cheeks, sunken under-eyes, or other signs of aging.
Realistic Expectations: We’ll always be honest about what the procedure can achieve, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Stable Weight: It’s best if you’re at a weight you’re happy with, as weight fluctuations can affect the results.
Fat Grafting vs. Other Options
When it comes to restoring volume or enhancing your features, there are lots of treatments to choose from. Here’s how fat grafting stacks up:
Dermal Fillers: Fillers like Juvederm are great for quick results, but fat grafting offers a longer-lasting and more natural alternative.
Facelifts: A facelift is more invasive, while fat grafting is a less intense way to achieve a rejuvenated look.
Implants: If you’re not into the idea of synthetic materials, fat grafting is a natural way to enhance your features.
How Does the Procedure Work?
Here’s a quick breakdown of what happens during a fat grafting session at Rejuuvmed:
Your Consultation: This is where we talk about your goals, assess your donor fat, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Fat Harvesting: Using a gentle liposuction cannula, we’ll take fat from your chosen donor area. Don’t worry—this is done under local anesthesia or light sedation, so it’s super comfortable.
Purification: The fat is purified using a centrifuge, so only the healthiest cells are used.
Re-Injection: Finally, the purified fat is injected into the target areas using a precise microcannula technique.
Recovery Process
Most of our patients are back to their normal routine within a week or two, though you may notice some swelling or bruising at first. Here’s what to expect:
Downtime: Plan for about 7–14 days to recover, though many people feel fine after just a few days.
Follow-Up Care: We’ll see you for follow-ups to make sure everything’s healing perfectly.
Results Over Time: You’ll start to see the full effects within a few weeks, and the results can last for years with proper care.
What Are the Risks?
Fat grafting is safe when performed by experienced professionals (like our team at Rejuuvmed!), but there are still a few potential risks to be aware of:
Minor swelling, bruising, or discomfort (this is temporary).
Some fat may be reabsorbed by the body, but we can always do touch-ups if needed.
Very rare risks include infection, which we take every precaution to avoid.
