Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure that has helped countless patients in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area reverse the signs of facial aging. The procedure is performed without major incisions and leaves no postoperative scars.

Philadelphia fat grafting specialist, Dr. Anthony Corrado, has performed medical research in facial fat grafting and has published his finding in respected medical journals.  Fat grafting has been a part of our treatment options for many years, and new advances in procedure techniques are evolving all the time.

Dr. Corrado feels that this procedure provides a very versatile means to perform rejuvenation of the entire face with much less downtime than traditional surgical procedures. He has used facial fat transfer to help countless patients feel better about how they look without the need for invasive surgery.

Procedure Overview

Fat grafting is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that harvests fat from one part of your body to be used as filler material in another part of the body. In the same way that dermal fillers (such as Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, Radiesse, etc.) are used to plump lips and cheeks, smooth wrinkles, and fill hollows and folds, fat can be used instead and may be much longer lasting.

Benefits of fat grafting as compared with implants and/or dermal fillers:

  • Fat grafting will not cause an allergic reaction
  • Fat grafting is safe and cost-effective
  • Fat is a natural, living filler
  • There is no risk of disease transmission
  • Fat is more permanent than manufactured fillers
  • Most patients have abundant stores of fat available
  • Grafted fat becomes permanent living tissue
