How is facial fat grafting performed?

Fat is first harvested from the donor area using gentle liposuction techniques. Common donor areas include the hips, thighs, and primarily the abdomen. Once the fat is removed, it is then purified to distill the small fat goblets appropriate for facial injection. The purified fat is then carefully injected into targeted areas, often in a multilayered fashion, using specialized cannulas or needles. Through a layered and meticulous approach the three dimensional volume rejuvenation can occur.
