Fat Grafting Overview
Read Dr. Corrado's Publication on Facial Fat Grafting
Dr. Anthony Corrado is an expert in the field of fat grafting/transfer. He has done much research in the field of autologous (from our own body) fat grafting. His work in the field has gained him awards nationally. He co-authored a scholarly manuscript on facial fat grafting which received honors from the American Osteopathic College of Otolaryngology/Facial Plastics Surgery and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Anthony Corrado feels that this procedure provides him a very versatile means to perform rejuvenation of the entire face and body. Fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure which is performed without incisions and leaves no post procedure scars. It requires much less downtime than traditional surgical procedures, with patients being able to return to work in a few days.
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 JUVÉDERM®, 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.
Areas Where Fat Grafting Is Effective:
- Face: Temple, cheek, forehead wrinkles, around the mouth, lips, laugh lines, jowls, jaw line and chin.
- Eyes: to correct hollows under the eye and fill the “tear trough”.
- Scars: to fill depressions from acne, trauma or surgery.
- Hands: to fill wrinkles and depression on backs of hands due to aging.
- Buttocks: to give a more pronounced, and rounded appearance.
- Liposuction: to fill defects from overly aggressive liposuction procedures.
- Breasts: possibly in place of manufactured implants, research is ongoing.
