EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offer other state of the art non-surgical options for volume restoration in addition to fat harvest and grafting.  These include all FDA approved injectable fillers in which we have extensive experience and a long-term safety profile.  In many cases these non-surgical filler options can be used after fat grafting to extend the longevity and benefits of your fat grafting and contouring procedure.  A post-operative maintenance program including medical skin care is essential in maintaining and even improving your operative result.

As with other procedures, fat grafting costs will depend on many factors including the extent of the injections, the amount of liposuction contouring and number of sites with the harvest, and the other ancillary procedures planned.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Not at all. Fat grafting or lipo-filling techniques and approach can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon and each patient’s unique aging patterns and goals.  Technique is especially important with fat harvest in maintaining cell viability and in the artistry and science of graft placement.

Recovery or downtime after a fat grafting procedure will depend upon the extent and number of sites involved as well as the amount of liposuction contouring with the harvest.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages.  At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health preoperatively and specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve results.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post procedure planning.

Fat grafting results and longevity are very much affected by numerous individual and procedural factors.  These include patient age and genetics, pre- and post-treatment overall health and lifestyle, and surgical technique. In our experience a personalized medical skin care program to optimize skin health before and after surgery along with individualized aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results far longer than traditional cosmetic procedures.
