Fat Injections / Fat Transfer

Facial wrinkles and creases are part of the aging process. They begin to appear as the underlying muscle, fat and collagen begins to atrophy. Of all the methods for volume and wrinkle correction fat injection / fat transfer has always been one of the most intriguing.

Fat Transfers, or fat injections, plumps up facial features with a patients own fat and is a popular alternative to other wrinkle treatments.

Fat injections to the face are a safe, natural and non-allergenic procedure designed to recontour your face and provide definition to your eyes, cheeks, mouth, and chin.

The problem with fat injections has always been the variability in consistency and duration of results. When fat injections are done to the face (or other body areas) if the fat does not establish a viable blood supply it will die. Often, this necessitates multiple fat injection / fat transfer sessions to obtain lasting symmetrical results. This difficulty has made traditional fat injections / fat transfer less popular than other filling agents.

With the development of FAMI (facial autograft muscle injection) fat injections / fat transfer has entered a new era. FAMI promises to deliver where previous fat injections could not. With an emphasis on muscle volume correction and 3 -dimensional cosmetic restoration FAMI is much more than a new technique for wrinkle reduction. It is a viable, and often better, alternative for many people to the traditional facelift for complete facial rejuvenation.
