How is the treatment done?
Fat Grafting
In individuals with adequate fat for harvesting, fat grafting is achieved from fatgrafting. Sculpted areas of excess fat may include the jowls, face, abdomen, flanks, back, the tail bone, thighs, and many other sites. The harvested fat can then processed and injected in layered fashion into the specified area. Additional sessions may be required.
Generally, several sessions are required.
The treatment takes about one hour in an outpatient clinic setting.
Local or general anesthesia is used.
When will one see the results?
The results will be seen instantly as well as gradually in weeks. After the swelling subsides with few days, the results will look more and more natural.
How long do the results last?
Results vary from six months to years. Duration of effect is similar regardless of sessions of treatments, but the magnitude of change will be determined by the number of sessions.
How to maintain or enhance my results?
Additional maintenance is required.
Healthy eating and exercise are helpful to enhance results.
Further treatment may be recommended for further results.
What is the recovery like?
Recovery lasts one weekend, with most people returning to work and activities thereafter.
Temporary swelling, soreness, and mild bruising are expected.
Prescription pain medications may be needed.

Message to the areas three times a day for three days to improve evenness.
