Do you wish you could “fill out” your face? While aging is a blessing, the effects of aging can affect the volume of the face and other areas of the body. As we age, our face loses volume, but a fat transfer can help rejuvenate your face and body and reverse the signs of aging.
What is a Fat Transfer?
A fat transfer allows you to add volume to different areas of the body without using artificial fillers. Fat is transferred from one part of the body to the donor site. It could be anywhere on the body, but the face is a popular donor site. While the face is the body’s most common area, other areas can also benefit from this procedure. The lips, hands, buttocks, and breasts are other areas of the body where a fat transfer is done, especially since it’s effective at treating scars and other abnormal depressions on the body.
