Fat Grafting

Set back the clock ten years with no surgery!

This is a process by which we are using the patient’s own fat, instead of commercial fillers, to be used in rejuvenating  the face and other  areas of the body such as hands,  that could benefit from increased volume.  This procedure is an excellent non-surgical option.

Finally we are treating facial aging with efforts to increase the facial volume instead of using cutting and lifting techniques that most often give the patient an unnatural, “done-over” look.  If you observe the aging face over a several decade span you can see a progressive deflation which results in secondary sagging and a skeletonized look.

While in the past, we used fillers to treat lines and small depressions, now we are recreating a more youthful and natural look by rebuilding all the different areas of the face, obtaining very impressive and satisfying results for our patients.

How is it done?  With local injections in the face, similar to ones used for the application of commercial fillers, Dr. Spertus numbs the areas to be treated. With a small pin-prick, a micro cannula is inserted into the problem areas and the fat is injected. There is no need for incisions and no marks are left. Recovery time is minimal and patients usually return to work the following day.
