Fat Injections

Patient's own fat can be used as a filler. Fat is extracted with a syringe, processed and injected to fill wrinkles and folds. The whole process takes between 30 - 45 minutes. Local anesthesia is used to extract fat.

Advantage of fat injection is that as much fat as necessary can be removed unlike other fillers where cost depends on quantity used. The disadvantage is that a minor procedure is necessary to extract fat.

Bruising and some discomfort both at the site of fat removal and injection are possible. Fat injections typically last 9- 12 months, although some fat may last longer.
