A minimally invasive procedure used for facial rejuvenation. The term “autologous fat grafting” refers to the procedure in which fat is harvested from the person who will receive it. Autologous fat is considered by many to be the ideal filler material for facial rejuvenation, as it is 100% biocompatible, produces a soft and natural result, and is typically a permanent intervention.
Fat will be harvested through a cannula from the lower abdomen or thigh and injected into one or two subunits of the face to target loss of volume, skin tone/texture.
An initial consultation must be scheduled to determine whether this procedure is the right fit and to discuss facial rejuvenation goals
1 week prior to appointment, you may be advised to cease the use of certain medications and supplements. During this time it is also adviseable to stay well hydrated and maintain a healthy diet.
At the appointment you will meet with Dr. Okland to finalize/confirm the treatment plan. Anesthesia will be administered for comfort during the harvesting and injection phases (typically local anesthesia sufficient).
Dr. Okland will use liposuction techniques to harvest fat from the agreed upon donor site. The fat is then processed to separate viable fat cells and re-injected into the treatment areas.
Dr. Okland will review post procedure care instructions and schedule any follow up appointments
Ideal candidates are individuals looking for a natural way to achieve facial volume, those who prefer not to use synthetic fillers, and individuals in good overall health without significant underlying health issues. Smokers are typically not good candidates for this procedure.
Yes, autologous fat grafting is generally considered safe since it uses your own body’s tissue. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks, including infection or complications at the injection or donor site.
Local anesthesia is commonly used, but other options may be considered depending on the treatment area and patient comfort levels.
The results from fat grafting can be permanent, but some of the transplanted fat may be reabsorbed by the body over time. Many patients see significant volume retention for years.
Though some initial changes are noticeable immediately, final results often reveal themselves around 3 months after the procedure when swelling subsides and the injected fat stabilizes.
