Fat Transfer - Fat is Gold with Dr Marco

Fat Transfer - Fat is Gold with Dr Marco 

In this series we speak with Dr Marco, a Brazilian internationally renowned

Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon with over 35 years of experience. 


FAT IS PURE GOLD and can ENHANCE THE FACE AND BODY USING FAT COLLECTED FROM ANOTHER AREA OF THE BODY



According to Dr. Marco FAT TRANSFER, also known as FAT GRAFTING, FAT INJECTIONS and LIPOFILLING, is a procedure that uses a persons' OWN FAT to fill in irregularities and grooves. The FAT is then transferred from one area of the body to another area. 


This is now a well-established surgical technique that involves MULTIPLE USES OR APPLICATIONS OF YOUR OWN BODY FAT CELLS.


Dr.Marco explains that this popular cosmetic procedure is performed through meticulous LIPOSUCTION and FAT TRANSFER or FAT GRAFTING. The surgical goal is to improve or augment specific areas of the FACE and BODY.



WHEN TO CONSIDER FAT TRANSFER?


  • If you have facial areas that appear creased and sunken
  • If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers
  • If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate your hands and face
  • For use in breast reconstruction, to fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implants
  • If you desire a fuller, more rounded buttock


THE SPECIFIC AREAS THAT ARE INDICATED FOR THIS SURGICAL PROCEDURE ARE:



  • FACE (including LIPS)
  • BREAST
  • HANDS
  • HIPS
  • BUTTOCKS 


ARE YOU A SUITABLE CANDIDATE FOR A FAT TRANSFER?


FOR FACIAL FAT TRANSFER: If you have facial creases, such as laugh lines, smile lines, and crow´s-feet, FAT can be removed from your abdomen, thighs, or other areas and be injected into your face. Acne scars and sunken areas of the face, lips, and cheeks can also be filled in. Your plastic surgeon can even use GRAFTED FAT to minimize lines between your nose and mouth, correct skin depressions or indentations and minimize forehead wrinkles.


BREAST AUGMENTATION: If you desire a modest increase in breast size, you are a good candidate for fat grafting to the breast, but your breasts should already have a nice shape and good skin tone. If you have poor skin, sagging breasts, or want a significant increase in breast size, breast augmentation with fat transfer is not for you. 


BREAST IMPLANTS PLUS FAT GRAFTING: If your breast shape needs optimizing during a breast implant procedure, FAT GRAFTING can be useful. If you have residual breast irregularities after undergoing breast augmentation with implants, the irregularities can be filled in with FAT to produce a smooth contour and optimal shape.


BREAST RECONSTRUCTION WITH FAT GRAFTING: If you have breast defects following lumpectomy for breast cancer, fat grafting is an effective method for filling in these defects. FAT GRAFTING is also an option for total breast reconstruction following mastectomy, however, to achieve sufficient breast volume, this is usually a multi-stage process that requires at least two to four sequential fat grafting procedures.


BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION WITH FAT GRAFTING: Many people who desire a fuller, more rounded buttock will opt for a BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT, which uses fat transfer to provide a more curvaceous buttock without the use of implant. 


HAND REJUVENATION WITH FAT GRAFTING: Fat grafting into your hands is effective for adding volume, “plumping up” wrinkled areas, covering underlying vessels and tendons and improving the quality of your skin over time.


In all of these FAT GRAFTING PROCEDURES, LIPOSUCTION is commonly used to both SCULPT the surrounding area and COLLECT the autologous fat to be injected.


In addition, FAT GRAFTING can be used to smooth out all types of irregularities such as those resulting from poorly performed liposuction or injuries.


The NECESSARY FAT is obtained by a limited liposculpture through one or several 3 to 5mm incisions. The FAT is normally taken from the abdomen or inner thigh. The ASPIRATED FAT is processed by centrifuging, filtering or rinsing. Pure liquid fatty tissue ready for injection is the result.


The FAT is then injected where needed, and evenly distributed into the area by injecting minute amounts in the tissues. So that the injected fat is well surrounded by healthy tissue. 


This ensures that the transplanted fat remains in contact with the surrounding tissue that must supply it with oxygen and nutrients.


According to Dr Marco this procedure is most suited to people who are in a good health, have a positive attitude and realistic expectations, THEN you are most likely a good candidate for this procedure.


Dr Marco is a pragmatic surgeon who has mastered the traditional open methods by applying the latest techniques for properly hiding the scars in the anatomical folds and crease, leaving inconspicuous scars.


He is a well-versed Plastic Surgeon in the various benefits and limitations of the different procedures and methods, hence, he will always advise his patients on what is the best option to achieve the outcome that they want.
