Fat Transfer Cost and Benefits in Juno Beach, Florida

There are a few options to consider when evaluating  facial volume restoration. Most popular is injectable dermal fillers. While these may provide instant results with minimal downtime, they may only be a temporary option. A long-term solution may be accomplished with fat transfer. A fat transfer is more costly than dermal fillers, but it will address all areas of volume depletion at the same time.

What is  Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer uses fat cells harvested from your own body to augment the face (or other desired areas). By combining the process with tumescent liposuction, it can be potentially a two-in-one procedure. Unwanted fat deposits are removed from one area and used to enhance the desired facial areas. This process can revolumize and recontour the recipient areas. Alternatively, fat transfer can be accomplished with a fat harvest without the sculpting of liposuction, and this method tends to lessen the cost of the procedure.

The Difference Between Dermal Fillers and Fat Transfers

Both types of procedures achieve facial volume. Dermal fillers, however,  are only temporary, lasting on average 1-2 years. Fat transfers, on the other hand, are more stable and long-lasting. An added benefit is that fat transfers use your own natural tissue, so the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is significantly reduced. 

Every patient is individual and unique. You need a knowledgeable physician to guide you through your choices. At Perfect Skin Dermatology in Juno Beach, Dr. Susan Schroeder will discuss your options and questions.
