Phoenix Plastic Surgeon Explains How Fat Transfer Creates a Youthful Look
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Many patients come to me and ask about their faces. They feel that they look tired or they
look they are getting older and they feel like it happened all of a sudden and when
we inspect them, what we find is they have actually lost structure in their faces. Mid
face or under the eyes is the place where we commonly lose structure first and basically
when I am talking about when I talk about structure is the fat that is under our skin
that our baby fat, our fluff, our volume and as we lose that volume, we start to age and
that ageing can be seen significantly usually around the eyes, in this line, and this line
that we call the _______ line. As that volume loss happens, the skin starts to fall and
when the skin falls, we either see sunkenness here or we see sagging here because this volume
is gone. What we do to correct that is called lipostructure in my office which is basically
fat transfer or using microlipoinjection, tiny little injections of droplets of fat,
under the skin into the fat layer and muscle layer to rebuild volume and that allows us
to give a more youthful look.
