Indications

Typical uses of fat grafts in the facial region include the restoration of youthful facial volumes, following age related tissue atrophy and descent; and the selective enhancement of normal facial features (e.g. cheekbone prominence, lip enhancement, etc).

The fat grafts can also be employed to successfully re-establish normal tissue contours and volumes elsewhere in the body. The tissues on the back of the hand typically thin with the passage of time and are a good indicator of a persons age, restoration of volume in the dorsum of the hand helps to disguise many of these age-related changes. Unintentional divots and surface irregularities following liposuction can occur, fat transfers can be employed to restore normal contours.
