About this Treatment
Fat Transfer
Our fat transfer in Toledo, Ohio also helps skin and tissue damaged from scarring, injury, or radiation to rejuvenate, repair, or restore the skin and tissue to a healthier state or improve contour.
Fat grafting, also known as fat transfer or fat injections, is a minimally invasive aesthetic surgical procedure to harvest living fat cells from an area of excess, process and purify the fat cell grafts, and then inject them into areas deficient in volume due to aging, congenital factors, or trauma.
What It Is
Our fat transfer in Toledo treats common problems such as loss of tissue volume, laxity, and loss of support, and thinning or atrophy, and loss of elasticity of the skin. This volume loss is commonly seen with aging or in the face, buttocks and breasts and is a frustrating concern for many patients. In addition, scientific research has revealed that the subcutaneous fat contains other special precursor cells or stem cells and powerful growth factors at have the unique ability to replace aged or damaged cells and help rejuvenate youthful tissue function and skin health. Combining the natural volume replacement benefits of a patient’s own living fat cell grafts along with the bioregenerative potential of natural growth factors such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) and other signaling peptides is a growing and exciting new option in aesthetic medicine.
