Plastic Surgeon Woodlands – Facial Fat Grafting

As men and women age, facial fat diminishes, causing wrinkles, facial folds, creases and sunken cheeks and eyes. Through fat grafting, Houston cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bob Basu can actually restore fat to the areas of the face that have begun to deteriorate, returning volume and fullness to the face for a more youthful appearance.

Fat grafting can also be used for lip enhancement, and to fill areas of the skin that have become depressed, such as scars, acne scars and birthmarks on any part of the body. Fat grafting is a non-surgical method for creating subtle changes to the skin, rejuvenating the face to combat the effects of aging.

The fat grafting procedure involves harvesting fat from another body area with liposuction, then processing and injecting the fat into areas of the face or lips that require volume restoration. During your consultation, Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Basu will explain the details of the procedure and answer any questions you have about the fat transfer process.

There are also a number of facial injectable products available in Houston that may be used as alternatives to fat injections, including temporary injectable fillers Juvederm and Restylane. Dr. Basu will discuss your cosmetic concerns with you and help you determine whether fat grafting or another wrinkle treatment or lip augmentation procedure is best for you.
