Dallas - Fort Worth - Irving Fat Grafting / Fat Transfer
Fat grafting is performed to add volume to the face to restore youthful facial shape. One of the most important, yet previously overlooked aspects of the aging face is loss of volume. It is the loss of volume around the cheekbones, cheeks, and peri-orbital region that leads to the change from a heart-shaped youthful countenance to more aged square-shaped appearance. With fat grafting, the patient's own fat cells are harvested from the abdomen or thigh and carefully and meticulously deposited with specially-designed instruments to fill in the loss of volume in the facial areas. With this technique, patients will often look more like they did when they were younger, rather than a stretched or pulled version of their older self.
