Fat Grafting With PRP

Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is the medical process of moving fat from a safe, but unnecessary, area of the body and adding it to another section in order to restore lost volume, making it appear more youthful. Fat is often taken from around the abdomen or hips and commonly injected into areas if the face, such as the cheeks and lips. Fat transfers are a great solution for restoring volume to the face while preserving natural features. After a fat grafting procedure the skin becomes smoother and offers a more filled out appearance, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles brought on by the aging process.

An ideal candidate for this procedure would be a man or woman seeking to recover that youthfulness seen in a young person's face or boost their confidence by correcting the signs of aging. How a patient sees himself or herself plays a very important role in their everyday life. Facial volume loss, combined with fine lines and wrinkles, can lead to dissatisfaction over time. It is crucial to feel comfortable in one's own skin and happy with one's own appearance, and fat grafting provides the means to look as good as you feel.

Platelet rich plasma, or PRP, is often utilized in fat grafting procedures. The harvested fat is mixed with PRP before being re-injected into the desired areas of the face. This combination of PRP and fat has a higher survival rate after being transferred into a new area of the body ensuring better results and less chance of revision for the patient. The use of fat grafting with PRP is not required but is often favored by today's facial plastic and cosmetic surgeons.
