Introduction
Facial Fat Grafting
As we age, the fat volume in a face declines, the skin’s natural elasticity fades, and the underlying bony facial structure recedes, leading to a noticeable loss of youthful contour and facial volume, contributing to an aged appearance. A facial fat transfer offers a minimally invasive solution to this issue, designed to rejuvenate and restore youthful contours.
By delicately harvesting fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, this procedure reintroduces natural volume to the face, filling in hollow areas, smoothing out wrinkles, and promoting a healthy, refreshed glow. Facial fat grafting also pairs beautifully with other procedures, such as facelifts or eyelid surgery, to enhance overall results. If you’re seeking to regain volume and youthful contour to your face, this option may be a perfect fit for you.
What is Fat Transfer?
Fat grafting in Boise, also referred to as autologous fat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from one part of the body, usually through liposuction, and injecting it into another area to enhance volume, shape, or rejuvenate the appearance. This technique uses the patient’s own fat cells, making it a natural and safe option for enhancing different facial features or body areas.
