Fat Injections

Fat injections can be used to fill in wrinkles and lines, to create contours in the face, and to fill in scars. Because they use fat from one area of a patient's body to fill in another, there is little chance of allergy or incompatibility. Fat injections are usually done on an outpatient basis under anesthesia when combined with other procedures such as browlift or forehead lift.

The donor site (often the buttocks or abdomen) is first numbed and injected with fluid to make extracting the fat easier. The donor fat is collected through a needle and syringe. After the fluid is removed, another needle is used to reinsert the fat into the treatment area. We will at first slightly overfill the treatment area because some of the injected fat will be reabsorbed by the body. Most patients can resume normal activities soon after undergoing fat injection. Some minor swelling and bruising can occur during the first few days following fat injection. Fat injections are not usually permanent. How long the results last varies among individuals, but fat injections can be repeated as necessary.

Scar Revision

Many factors determine the severity of scarring: the size of a wound, its depth, the blood supply to the area, and skin tone. No surgeon can completely remove a scar, but in some cases, the appearance of the scar can be greatly improved. Scar revision is a surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of scars that do not respond to cortisone drugs, steroids, or skin gels. Several techniques are available, including excision, dermabrasion, and laser treatment.
