Autologous Fat Transfer
What can the procedure achieve?

Autologous fat transfer restores lost volume where tissues have thinned through age. It can also be used to replace tissues that have been lost through surgery or injury. There is also emerging evidence that the overlying skin can benefit from the new fat grafts, possibly resulting from the presence of ‘stem’ cells within the transferred fat. Further research is needed before this is fully understood. In the face, the most common area to be treated is the cheeks, which can become hollowed with age.
