Enhancing contours of the face and body make you more attractive and can help with the signs of aging. If you are considering fat transfers in the Chicago Loop, here is what you should know about the procedure.
What are Fat Transfers?
Fat transfers are minimally invasive procedures that use fat from one area of your body to enhance another area of your body. Fat transfers can be used to add volume to the breasts, contour the buttocks, fill in dimples on the skin, augment facial features to reduce wrinkles, and more.
Candidates for Fat Transfers
The ideal candidate for a fat transfer in the Chicago Loop is someone who needs a little extra volume in a specific area of the face or body. You need to have a donor site for the procedure, so people who are very thin are typically not good candidates. Fat from a liposuction procedure can be used for donor fat.
Fat Transfer Procedure
The fat for the transfer is extracted via liposuction, and the amount is very small so you will not notice that you are missing fat. The fat is processed to remove impurities and then put into a syringe. The plastic surgeon slowly injects the fat into the treatment area to sculpt the contours. You may have some mild discomfort and swelling after the procedure.
