Fat Transfer
Fat injections are not like other fillers on the market. While other fillers are effective
for fine lines, wrinkles, and other facial imperfections, fat injections are an all-natural
solution for larger volume fills, such as the sagging cheeks, hollow temples, natural breast
enhancement and buttock lifts. This natural, easily performed method has been practiced
safely for a number of years, but with the advent of the Viafill system, fat transfer has
increased its precision and durability.
With these improvements to the fat injection process, more patients are discovering the
incredible benefits of fat transfer for facial rejuvenation, including:
Longevity: The results of fat injections last longer than other injectables because it is
live. With good techniques, live tissue will last for a long time. If the tissue is harvested
and re-injected with poor techniques, the tissue will be injured and die, resulting in a short
term fill that goes away. The Viafill system is designed to maximize longevity while
minimizing tissue trauma
Safety: The fat is harvested directly from the patient, so there is no risk of allergy,
rejection, or other adverse reaction. It’s the most natural way to fill in problem areas.
Results are incredible, as there is minimal chance of lumpiness.
Elasticity: The effectiveness of using body fat is remarkable, in terms of how much
volume can be obtained with this elastic, natural material. Other fillers can be thick and
hard under the skin, but fat is exactly like the fat that is already there. It is for this reason
that fat yields a better, more natural result in the face and especially around the eyes,
cheeks and nasolabial folds.
Cost effectiveness: Fat injections give you more for your money when compared to
other injectable fillers. I will be glad to address price comparisons during your office
consultation.
Fat transfer is the filler of choice for:
-Cheek/chin augmentation
-Lip enlargement
-Nasolabial folds
-Marionette lines
-Tear trough deformities under the eyes
-Natural breast augmentation
-Aging hands
Until now, there has only been one downside to fat injections: the durability of fat. With
the goal to increase fat survival, I developed the Viafill System™. It was designed to
extend the durability of fat injections so they maintain their plumping qualities for a
longer period of time. Without Viafill, the longevity of fat transfer is comparable to other
fillers; but with Viafill, results may be permanent!
Viafill works by maximizing the number of live fat cells that are transplanted, increasing
the potential for less fat resorption and longer lasting results. Plus, it minimizes damage
to fat cells during harvest, preparation, and re-injection, compared to traditional fat
harvesting techniques (by limiting the cells’ manipulation, exposure to air, trauma, and
excessive centrifuge g-forces).
