Fat transfer or FAMI
(Fat Autografting Muscle Injection) is a new, bloodless and safe technique
that uses the patient's own fat to fill and correct the atrophied facial
muscles, therefore correcting the lost volume and rejuvenating the aging
face.
After numbing the area with local anesthetic, fat is removed. The fat
is taken from the part of the body where the fatty cells are mostly packed
such as the abdomen or love handles. The prepared fat is then injected
into the area requiring treatment or rejuvenation. The transferred fat
will re-vascularize and survive in the new location. The procedure takes
about 2-4 hours and is performed in our office, on an outpatient basis.
Post treatment care is minimal. There can be some swelling or bruising
at the site of treatment, which is normal with any type of procedure.
Swelling resolves in a few days and bruising can be covered with make
up. Most of the patients return back to work within a couple of days.
At Allure Eye Cosmetic Center, we bring you the latest technology in
eye and cosmetic surgery. We have dedicated ourselves to you; our patient,
and we strive to deliver the highest level of care and service possible.
