Fat Grafts/Lips, Mouth Creases,

"Fat Grafting"
is a procedure that is being used more frequently
as another rejuvenating option in the patient's
fight against aging. Quite simply, it involves
using some of the patient's own fat tissue
to fill-in creases, lines, depressions or
other underdeveloped areas in the body.
This is a process
in which small portions of fat are carefully
taken from a donor area, like the abdomen
or inner thigh, and then prepared using
a special technique. Small amounts are then
injected into tiny tunnels, cross-layered
and structured to form a stable platform
to augment an area. The fat is carefully
grafted, and not just injected, so that
the desired appearance is achieved.

Fat grafts are being
used to plump the lips, reduce the appearance
of mouth creases or "laugh lines,"
and lift cheeks and strengthen a weak chin
for a more desirable profile. They can also
be used to fill-in dimples or depressions
in the skin, and even to improve the appearance
of underdeveloped calves and flattened buttocks.
Depending upon the patient
and the area grafted, fat grafts can last
anywhere from several months to several
years. However, fat grafts are being used
more frequently since technology has improved
the staying power of fat. Most of these
procedures are performed under general anesthesia,
and require minimum recovery time.
