About Lipotransfer
Fat can be safely transplanted from an area of the hip or thigh. It is processed and then re-injected within a few minutes to correct deep facial folds, dimples or augment lips. Minor swelling and bruising usually follows the injections and resolves within a few days.
Results vary but usually last between 6-12 months. In many patients, the augmentation lasts much longer, especially when the transplant is reinforced with 1-2 touch-ups in the first six months. Side effects are very rare, and allergic reactions are non-existent.
