What is Fat Transfer and Injections?
Fat transfer, or fat grafting, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using your own fat, which can typically be taken from areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, or buttocks, to enhance your appearance in those areas that have lost volume. Once the fat has been harvested and purified, it is then injected into areas that need more volume, including your lips, nasolabial folds (which are the folds from the corners of your mouth to your nose), under your eyes, your cheeks and chin area, and those other parts of your face and body that need augmentation. Because it’s fat taken from your own body, you don’t need to worry about allergic reactions or complications, and the results can last longer than with dermal fillers or other forms of treatment.
What are the Benefits of Fat Transfer and Injections?
Facial fat grafting offers an alternative to facial fillers, with longer lasting results based on all natural substances taken from your own body and then purified, before being re-injected to add volume where it’s lacking on your body. If you’re a patient who likes the quick results you can see from temporary facial fillers, then you will be thrilled with the natural and more permanent results that can be achieved with facial fat grafting. Microlipoinjection, also known as autologous fat transfer and injections, is a phenomenal way to restore your youth without any risk of allergic reaction.

Who is a Candidate for Fat Transfer and Injections?
Do you have areas on your body that could benefit from greater volume and smoothness? Whether it’s wrinkled, folds of skin or lack of volume, fat transfer and injections is an ideal way to give yourself more volume, while losing unwanted fat from another area of your body. Almost any area can be used for harvesting, but the abdomen is easily accessible, and incisions can be hidden within the umbilicus or in the hair-bearing skin of the pubic area. Once the fat is purified, it can be injected into any area that you and Dr. Banks choose to target for volume restoration.
What is the Procedure for Fat Transfer and Injections?
Fat grafting takes from one to two hours, and it is performed as an outpatient procedure using a local anesthetic. The facial fat grafting procedure starts with Dr. Banks using a small syringe or cannula to harvest fat from a donor site. The fat is then spun in a centrifuge and purified to separate any excess fluid and impaired fat cells so that only undamaged fat cells are used again. The fat is then placed in small syringes and re-injected into those natural fat compartments in your face where volume has been lost. After your fat grafting procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room where you will be monitored until you are ready to be released. Any discomfort can be controlled with medication prescribed by Dr. Banks, and you will be advised to rest for a few days following your procedure. There is usually some minor bruising and swelling, but that will quickly diminish, and your overall results can last for up to three years.
