Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ : Surgical Procedure
How much pain is there?
The amount of pain during any cosmetic surgery varies from patient to patient. However, the discomfort associated with injectables is normally relatively mild. In many cases, fat injections are performed without anesthesia. This may be somewhat painful to patients, depending on the site of injection. For instance, the area of skin around the lips is one of the more sensitive parts of the body. Injections performed on the cheek, chin and eye area are usually less painful. If you are particularly concerned about this issue, be sure to discuss it with your doctor prior to the day of the procedure.
FAQ : Result
What are some of the most common benefits of this surgery?
Fat injections can significantly reduce or eliminate wrinkles and other skin imperfections. It can also give patients a more youthful appearance by reestablishing pleasing contours. Fat is the first choice of material when injections are needed in deeper layers of tissue or larger volumes (greater than 10cc). However, injected fat may not last as long as some other materials. The fat is slowly absorbed by the body, although the amount of absorption is variable, and frequently hard to predict. Typically, more than half of the fat used in injectable treatments is absorbed with six months of the operation. Almost all patients will permanently retain some of the injected fat. However this percentage varies from patient to patient. If a significant amount of fat is absorbed, a second procedure may be needed to completely correct the sagging, wrinkling or other skin imperfections.
What is the long-term outcome like for most people?
Most patients who have had an injectable procedure are pleased with the results. The treatments can, in many cases, significantly reduce facial wrinkling and sagging. However, fat injections have a relatively short life span. Much of the fat may be absorbed within six months. Almost all patients will permanently retain some of the injected fat. However, this percentage varies from patient to patient, and a second procedure may be needed to completely correct sagging or wrinkling.
