How to fill your wrinkles?
Autologous fat transplant is an option
Advances
in soft tissue augmentation offer patients
natural-looking and durable treatment options for
wrinkles, which are among the most
telltale
signs
of aging. For patients looking for a permanent
correction, autologous fat transplantation uses the
patients' own fat cells to fill in wrinkles (How
to avoid wrinkles) without the risk of allergic
reactions that can occur from manmade
injectables. The two-step, same-day process, begins
with a small
liposuction procedure in which fat cells are taken
from the patient's abdomen,
buttocks, outer thighs or hips and processed for
implantation. Then, the harvested fat tissue is
precisely injected under the skin, using local
anesthesia, with very fine instruments to
contour
affected areas. Results are noticeable within 24 to 48
hours following the procedure.
According to Dr.
Kaminer, "Autologous fat transplantation and other
facial fillers are what we like to refer to as the
inside-out approach to treating
aging
skin, because they plump up wrinkles and folds from
underneath the skin to improve the appearance on the outside.
Fillers are the perfect complement to the outside-in
procedures, such as the
skin resurfacing and
tightening treatments, and in some cases can be performed
at the same time."
