Restore Volume To Your Face With A Fat Transfer

Dr. Vu Ho

1/7/2020

A fat transfer procedure transfers fat from one part of the body to another area that has lost volume due to aging. This procedure is most often used on the face at Beyond Beautiful. It allows Dr. Vu Ho, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, to use your fat tissue as a natural filler. He enhances and shapes volume-depleted areas and restores fullness to the face. Sometimes, Suneva® PureGraft is used in combination with other procedures, like laser resurfacing or a facelift, to get the best results. Since your fat is used, there is minimal downtime.

Who is an ideal candidate for fat transfer?

During a consultation with Dr. Ho at Beyond Beautiful in Prosper, Solano, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, and Plano, TX, you can learn if you’re a candidate. Great candidates for fat transfer:

  • Are in overall good health

  • Have areas of the body with enough excess fat for liposuction

  • Have flat or thin areas that need more volume

  • Need tissue replenished after cancer removal

  • Are allergic to fillers, such as RADIESSE® or VOLUMA®

What is Suneva PureGraft?

It is the only fat transfer system that has been proven to improve long-term graft retention. PureGraft removes over 97% of contaminants, which increases your chance of retention. It uses a selective-filtration technology with a device that lightly collects fat and removes oil, fluid, blood, and cells while leaving behind any fat cells that are beneficial for the transfer. Using PureGraft allows patients in Prosper, Solano, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, and Plano, TX, to return home sooner and reduce the number of procedures they need to reduce signs of aging.

What to expect with PureGraft

Once you’re under general anesthesia or PRO NOX™ nitrous oxide sedation, a cannula is inserted into the skin to suction out the fat. Incisions are usually small and can be hidden well. The removed fat is sorted and purified before it is placed into a syringe for transfer. Dr. Ho injects the fat into the skin and massages the areas, so they settle smoothly. This is performed several times in a procedure known as layered fat grafting to get the desired result. Fat transfer usually has a downtime of a week to ten days, and full recovery takes one to two weeks.

What results can I expect with fat grafting?

Patients receiving fat transfer at Beyond Beautiful may require additional grafting surgeries later on. As the fat settles, the body may re-absorb it. Fat transfer is a natural and easier way to add volume to areas of the body than injectables or implants. Some patients may opt for dermal injections in areas that need volume as a way to see what they do or do not like about the size.

Add volume to your face with fat grafting

Genetics, weight loss, or the natural aging process all can be why an area of the body needs added volume. A fat transfer creates a healthier, youthful, and fuller area of the body without any allergic reaction as it’s your own fat. At Beyond Beautiful, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Vu Ho welcomes men and women from Prosper, Solano, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, and Plano, McKinney, Frisco, and North Dallas, TX, to schedule a consultation to learn how they can reduce signs of aging safely and effectively.

Beyond Beautiful is my home away from home! Everyone is so sweet and welcoming from the time I enter to the time I leave. Acacia has been working with me on my weight loss journey (Semiglutide). She is the BEST hype girl and checks in with me through out the month to see how I am doing and if I need anything. I have lost 34 pounds so far and I feel great! It has completely erased my inflammation too! Krystal has been working with me on my skincare routines, I love how she educates me as she goes along through her process. This morning I came in for a dermaplane, universal peel, and a hydrofacial. It was the best combination! It made my face feel so refreshed! She did an amazing job and I can’t wait to do it again next month!
