Facial Fat Grafting has been in existence for many years, and is effective for filling in deep facial lines, nasolabial folds, and sunken eyes. Fat grafting can be performed on many facelift patients to address both major causes of facial aging: sagging (gravity) and deflation (picture a deflated balloon). The sagging is corrected by the facelift, and the fat that has been lost with age is replaced to create the most natural and realistically youthful look possible.

Facial Reshaping is a revolutionary technique in cosmetic surgery which can effectively correct:

Thin or gaunt face
Long face
Bottom-heavy or jowly face
Chubby face
Mid-face retrution or flatness
Asymmetrical face

The procedure uses minimally invasive methods and requires minimal downtime. Your own fat is extracted and then specially processed in the operating room before it is injected deep within the structures of the face to accentuate the cheekbones, mid-face, lips, cheeks, chin, nose, temples and jaw line to reshape the face. Fat in certain areas will be permanent, though on some people it may need to be repeated.

By using this minimally invasive technique, the patient�s face can be reshaped without the prolonged downtime associated with more invasive techniques. In fact, facial reshaping has been used along with rhinoplasty and other facial procedures to create better results by shaping the face to match the nose.

Many early signs of aging, such as fat shifting, fat descent or fat loss can be corrected with fat injections, which can actually delay certain aging anatomical processes. This procedure requires a thorough understanding of beauty and the anatomy of faces of all ages in order to prevent the signs of aging and create the proper proportions.

It has been discovered that liposuctioned fat is rich with stem cells. These are the undifferentiated cells that when placed in contact with the other organs will actually create or repair those organs. We have seen for years that fat (which contains stem cells) injected into the face has corrected problems with skin pigmentation, wrinkles, loss of facial volume secondary to decrease in bony size, and other aging effects
