| Autologous Micro Fat Grafting |
 Autologous fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or microlipoinjection, can do wonders for adding volume to facial features, augmenting the lips, and recontouring the buttocks for a more shapely, youthful aesthetic. The term autologous is simply defined as being derived or transferred from the same individual’s body. In the autologous fat grafting procedure, a patient’s own fat cells are harvested from other areas of the body and re-injected into the area which the patient wishes to enhance. Since the process involves using your natural body fat, there is no need for allergy testing. Plus, fat transfer is known to have results that last longer than many cosmetic injectable fillers – in fact, permanent results are not unheard of.The Autologous Fat Grafting ProcedureThe autologous fat grafting procedure involves a multi-step process that begins with liposuction. Areas of the body with excess fat pockets – usually the midsection, thighs, hips, buttocks, or jowls – are treated with liposuction to harvest the fat cells. Once the fat cells have been collected, the next step involves the preparation of these harvested cells for injection into the area targeted for rejuvenation. Using advanced techniques, Dr Kovacs seperates the regenerative fat cells known as ADC cells to ensure that only healthy undamaged cells are used during the re-injection procedure. Prior to re-injection, the target areas may be treated with a local anesthetic if desired by the patient to make the procedure more comfortable. Finally, the harvested and cleansed fat cells are then injected into the treatment area and results from the procedure are often immediately apparent. Patients can expect some mild swelling after the procedure; however, this is only temporary and should fade quickly. Fat transfer can typically be completed in just one office visit and most patients resume normal daily routines within the same day of the procedure or the day after. Autologous Fat Grafting BenefitsFat grafting offers numerous benefits for patients who would like effective facial and hand skin rejuvenation and enhancement, as well as those who would like to recontour the buttocks.
