Dr. Duplechain Explains Your Fat Injection Procedure

To begin your fat injection procedure, I will harvest fat from a determined donor area where fat is easy to remove, such as the abdomen or upper portion of the hip. Small amounts of fat for facial augmentation can be performed under local anesthesia, and usually the incision where the fat was harvested is difficult to identify. I typically use the superwet or power assisted liposuction technique to gently harvest the fat when large volumes are needed such as for breast or buttock augmentation. By centrifuging the fat, I am able to retain the highest quality, most viable fat to use for the augmentation of the body or face. After removing unwanted fluids, the fat cells are then transferred via injection. These living fat cell grafts offer incredible potential as an augmentation material. While many opt to augment areas of the face that appear sunken or hollow, the hands, breast and buttocks can also benefit from a fat transfer procedure. You can achieve fat reduction in selected areas of the body while simultaneously augmenting areas such as the hands, breast, buttocks and face with a fat transfer procedure.

Recovery & Results

Patients sometimes experience mild swelling and bruising for about 1 to 2 weeks after their procedure, which may occur both at the donor and treatment sites. Generally, patients take off a few days from work. While swelling and bruising will improve over several weeks, typically patients return to everyday activities within about a week of their procedure.
