Face or hands fat grafting is a cosmetic procedure that involves transferring fat from one area of the body to the face or hands to improve volume and restore a more youthful appearance.
During the procedure, fat is harvested from a donor site, such as the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction techniques. The fat is then processed and injected into specific areas of the face or hands to add volume and fill in wrinkles or depressions.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and can take a few hours to complete. The results are long-lasting, as the transferred fat becomes a natural part of the recipient area.
Fat grafting can help rejuvenate the face by filling in hollow cheeks, smoothing nasolabial folds, and restoring volume to thinning lips. In the hands, it can improve the appearance of bony or aged hands by adding fullness and minimizing wrinkles.
It’s important to consult with a qualified Cosmetic or plastic surgeon or dermatologist to determine if fat grafting is appropriate for you and to discuss the potential risks and benefits associated with the procedure.
