MICRO LIPOINJECTION (Fat Transplantation)
This century-old procedure was refined and updated by dermatologic surgeons in the 1980s. Micro lipoinjection is a form of soft tissue augmentation that uses a patient's own fat (removed from another part of the patient's body) as a filler substance to "plump up" and contour wrinkles, furrows and hollows in the face. Donor fat is taken with a small cannula or sterile tube from troublesome fatty deposits such as buttocks or thighs, and then re-injected into the areas to be filled. Since one's own tissue is used, there is little risk of the body's rejecting it, which can occur when a foreign substance is used.
What conditions can Micro Lipoinjection Improve?Sometimes referred to as fat transfer, this technique helps eliminate the hills and valleys associated with the
aging face, as well as improve depressions resulting from injury, surgery, or certain type of scarring. Common conditions that can be treated are smile and frown lines. It is also a wonderful complement to cosmetic
resurfacing procedures,
liposuction of the neck and jowls and
botulinum toxin injections.
Aging and Sun-Damaged Skin
The Ravages of Time and the Sun
Although it is not possible to turn back the hands of time, its effects can be dramatically slowed down and improved with the arsenal of procedures and techniques available to your dermatologic surgeon.
The natural aging process generally produces lines and wrinkles, age spots, splotches and pigmentation problems, broken capillaries, dull skin texture and color, and other skin flaws. Also, a once-attractive mole or birthmark may change into an unattractive protrusion, or a once unnoticeable scar may become more apparent when wrinkles form around it.
Sun-damage compounds the aging process. Ultraviolet light from the sun penetrates not only the outer layer of skin, but also those layers underneath which fortify the skin and lend it resilience.
Anti-aging creams and topical products are usually used to treat the milder symptoms of aging such as damage to the skin's uppermost layers.
For more advanced signs of aging and sun-damage, your dermatologic surgeon will choose the surgical method or combination of methods best suited to your individual skin condition. Following are the common categories of treatment to refine your appearance and make your skin look and feel healthy and attractive.
