Fat Transfer vs. Fat Injection - Dr. laris explains the difference
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
When we talk about fat transfer, we are talking about taking fat from one place on your body
and transferring it or injecting it into another area, so fat injections, fat transfer, microlipoinjection,
lipostructure are all the same thing. We are moving fat from one place to another. We take
the fat that we take from your belly or hips and transfer it into the cheek through a little
injection. We use a small little nick in the skin and use something called a microcannula.
It is the tiny little tube that has a blunt tip and we are able to pass that just under
the skin into the layer where your fat normally resides and put a little striplets of fat
in the area where it is needed. That allows me to build up the area. It does not make
it lumpy or bumpy and it is very smooth and nice when we are finished. You can even feel
where we have been after the area heals.
