Fat Injection Sculpting for the Face

Research has demonstrated the value of using fat as a natural ‘filler’ in Plastic Surgery. And what great revenge – taking the fat from someplace where it’s “hated” and using it to your benefit someplace else!  Fat can be used to rejuvenate the hands and for the softening and reconstruction of scars and other deformities. We commonly use fat for reducing facial wrinkles, plumping lips, restoring full cheeks and helping to ‘lift’ the face.

Fat Injection Sculpting for the Face and Lips Consultation

Before choosing from your options for Fat Injection or Sculpting for the Face & Lips, you will have a private, in-depth consultation with Dr. Back, who has earned a reputation as one of the best plastic surgery doctors in the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas. After an examination, he will review with you everything you want and need to know, and together you will discuss your goals and his recommendations. All the details of the procedure will be reviewed, and you will also have ample time for questions. ‘Before & After’ photos of our previous patients’ results are available to help new patients visualize the options available to them.

Fat Injection Sculpting for the Face and Lips Procedure

Using liposuction-style techniques, fat is harvested via tiny nicks in the skin. This may be performed in the office or the operating room, depending on the extent of liposuction desired and how the fat is intended to be used. The fat is concentrated and cleaned. Small syringes are then used to inject and sculpt the face, the cheeks, or the lips – using your very own body fat (no artificial materials)!  Fat injection/sculpting for the face can be performed alone or in conjunction with other facial procedures such as Facelift, Necklift, or Browlift.  Facial contouring with fat can eliminate the need for costly, temporary fillers.

Fat Injection Sculpting for the Face and Lips Recovery

Fat injection/sculpting can cause significant swelling that can last from days to weeks – patients need to be prepared for this. The fat always undergoes some reabsorption but extra fat is typically injected to allow for this. The fat can be slightly hard or even stiff for a few weeks but will typically eventually soften; then it will look and feel like your own normal tissues.
