Fat transfer

Fat injections give flexibility to the Plastic Surgeon (Plastic comes from the Greek Plastikos, meaning to give form) to offer to his patients molding of the face and body. The Plastic Surgeon aspirates the patient's own fat cells with a new gentle technique developed by Dr. Sidney Coleman in USA. Following this the fat cells remain alive and are injected into areas of the face or body that need enhancement. Because of the methodology of the new advanced technique, the fat cells remain in the areas where they have been injected without getting resorbed, as usually happened with the older techniques. Thus one can improve long-term facial contour, by augmenting the cheekbones, the chin, the jaw-line or any area that has not "enough". Moreover it fills in the deep lines that form under the eyes, between the nose and the lip, between the lip and the chin etc. Fat injections may have applications in younger candidates, who need small but significant changes to their faces without undergoing major surgery, as well as, more mature candidates, who during the passage of time have lost the youthful fullness of their face. Fat can also be injected in other areas of the body and could provide enhancement of the buttocks, rejuvenation of the hands, and can be combined with Liposuction for ultimate results, when indicated. Fat injections are safe, as the material used is the patient's own fat, and can be done as an outpatient procedure with a very short recuperation time.
