As we age, a large part of the natural aging process of the face involves loss of fat in the skin overlying the brows, forehead, cheekbones, cheeks, and under the eyes. This leads to a foreword drooping of the skin and a tired and aging look. Dr. Slater is able to take your own fat from other parts of your body and carefully inject this fat back into these areas. Which creates a youthful appearance and decreasing or eliminating unwanted age lines. We are now combing the use of PRP with facial fat transfer for even better results.
Ideal facial fat grafting candidates have a loss of facial volume around the cheeks, lips, or below the eyes. It is also effective for individuals with deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and sunken eyes.
Dr. Monte Slater will determine if additional dermal fillers, PRP Treatment (Vampire Facelift), and/or a combination treatment is an option for the patient. In general, facial fat grafting is an excellent option for patients who are looking to correct:
The presence of under-eye shadows is a frequent complaint that is commonly seen with aging. This happens from a combination of fat loss around the eye and a sagging of the upper cheek. Sometimes, it is an inherited trait that we see in relatively young patients. By filling in the shadow within the tear trough (under the eyes), fat grafting can make a huge difference in rejuvenating the area around the eye and change the entire look.
