What is a Fat Injection?
Fat Injection is a type of plastic surgery that improves the appearance of
lines on the face by using fat harvested from the patient and injected into the
area of concern.
Frequently individuals ask about what can be used to improve
the appearance of certain lines or folds in the face. The most common areas of
concern are the lines between the eyes and folds from the sides of the nose to
the mouth. Dr. Felice has used the individual's own fat very successfully and
has pioneered a technique that maximizes the longevity of the fat graft. The
procedure typically requires two sessions and can last for 2-5 years. This is in
contrast to wrinkle fillers that needs repeat injections every 3-12 months. For
those individuals requiring larger volume injections, fat injections may be
financially a better option.
