What Are Fat Transfer Injections?

Fat transfer injection, also known as microlipoinjection, is a process whereby your own fat is injected into areas of the face to enhance fullness and volume. The fat may be used to enhance facial contours, fill in cheeks, add fullness and volume to the lips, and smooth out lines and wrinkles.

  • Requires no downtime or recovery

Who Is a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer Injections?

Fat transfer injections appeal to those who want to reverse the signs of aging without plastic surgery. Dr. Rubinstein also recommends the procedure for younger patients to enhance facial contours and diminish slight imperfections in the face. Fat transfer injections are an excellent option for patients seeking to correct wrinkles, creases, lines, lack of volume, and slight facial imperfections, including:
  • Marionette lines, frown lines, smoker’s lines, and smile lines
  • Wrinkles, folds, creases, and stress lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead
  • Lack of volume, fullness, and definition in the cheekbones
  • Lack of volume and fullness in the lips and around the mouth
  • Acne scars

How Should I Prepare For Fat Transfer Injections?

The risk associated with fat transfer is minimal because the procedure uses your own fat to enhance facial volume. Little to no preparation is required for this procedure but to be on the safe side, please let Dr. Rubinstein know if you have received any other injections in the past four months, and if you’re taking any medications, such as aspirin and other blood thinners, allergy medications, sleep aids, NSAIDS, or muscle relaxers.

How Are Fat Transfer Injections Administered?

Fat transfer injection requires three steps, and Dr. Rubinstein may offer you a sedative or local anesthesia to make sure you remain comfortable during the procedure. Step 1: Fat is harvested from an area of the body via liposuction. The most common harvest sites are the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. As an added benefit, fat harvesting may also improve the contours of the harvest site areas. Step 2: The harvested tissue is allowed to separate and isolate the fat cells. Step 3: The fat cells are injected into the treatment area with a very fine-gauge needle. Dr. Rubinstein carefully and precisely selects the ideal injection sites to enhance the contours and skin volume of the injection area. Results are visible immediately after the procedure. In approximately 50% of patients, Dr. Rubinstein may recommend a follow-up treatment because the body absorbs the transplanted fat.
