Fat is the ultimate volumizer for the face. One of the elements that make the face look youthful is the fat under the skin. While other factors play roles in the aging of the face such as loss of collagen, fat loss also occurs. This changes the contours of the face – it may become sunken in certain areas, leading to a gaunt appearance and sagging skin. Reintroducing fat under the skin can create a more youthful appearance. LL Aesthetics offers autologous fat injections for facial rejuvenation at our clinic in Miami Beach, FL.
What Are Autologous Fat Injections?
The most natural option in dermal fillers is autologous fat injections. These treatments use your own fat from another area on the body to plump under your facial skin. The fat is easily harvested using a cannula (needle) from the abdomen, thighs or buttocks. This fat can be injected in various areas on the face to plump under lines or wrinkles or to create more youthful contours in the cheeks or temples.
With fat injections, you can enjoy instant facial rejuvenation with more volume under the skin. It can smooth crow’s feet, smile lines and other wrinkles by plumping under the skin to create a firmer appearance. Fat injections can also fill in hollows under the eyes or in the temples to create a more youthful appearance. Cheeks can look fuller and lifted with the help of fat injections.
What to Expect
Autologous fat injections for facial rejuvenation take a little longer than other dermal fillers, as they require two procedures. First the fat must be harvested, then it can be injected into the desired areas. The possible side effects are solely due to the injections – there is no risk of reaction to the fat, but you may have bruising, swelling or tenderness from the injection. These side effects quickly dissipate in the days following your procedure.
Fat injection results can last for over a year, but it depends on your metabolism. The fat will eventually dissolve, but this can occur at different rates for various patients. If the results begin to fade, another procedure can be completed to maintain the desired appearance.
Fat injections are a wonderful way to naturally improve the youthfulness of your face. To learn more, contact us at LL Aesthetics in Miami Beach, FL, to schedule an appointment.
