LipoStructure Fat Grafting

Fat grafting - Lipostructure- Skin & Vein Center, MIAs we age the skin on our face and body begins to lose its shape and structure and regaining some of that volume and fullness usually requires some medical assistance to enjoy noticeable, long lasting results. Sometimes an imbalance in facial features or a lack of symmetry elsewhere on the body isn't due to aging but may be the result of a birth defect or accident or an inherited tendency.
 
Using a fat grafting process in which fat is carefully removed from other areas of the body and injected into the face or body where the loss of fat and volume has left lines, dents or sunken areas.
 
After your initial consultation with your doctor to determine which areas of the body you want to treat, the actual process itself will usually take an hour or under. Using a very small cannula, the fat is first removed from the area of the body with extra fat deposits and then carefully injected into the dents, lines or asymmetrical areas of the body that need attention. Some patients want to remove fatty deposits from their abdomen and inject the fat into their face and neck where they may have developed lots of lines, filling these areas with their own fat instead of using artificial fillers. LipoStructure can help create more symmetry in faces that are have an imbalance with one side of the face displaying more fat and volume than the other side.
 
Since the procedure is performed with the help of a local, tumescent anesthesia, it’s relatively pain free and patients are usually able to return to their daily activities within a day or two. Some patients might experience some mild discomfort following the procedure which can be easily treated with an over-the-counter pain reliever. Results from the procedure can usually be noticed right away though optimal results will be noticed after the swelling has gone down. Follow up treatments might be needed depending on the patient’s individual circumstances which can be discussed with your doctor.
 
LipoStructure is considered a low risk, non-invasive procedure with the most common side effects being nothing more than some slight swelling or soreness shortly after the procedure. No special preparation is required to undergo a LipoStructure procedure though your doctor will discuss what kind of results you can personally expect during your initial consultation.
