However, you do not have to live with the results of aging, as there are options available to you that can help restore a youthful facial appearance. Fat transfer is a type of rejuvenation that is performed to plump up areas of lost volume. Continue reading to know more about this procedure.

What Is Facial Fat Transfer?

Also known as facial fat grafting, facial fat transfer is a two-part procedure that first involves having liposuction performed on an area of your body that has available or excess fat. This area is sometimes referred to as the donor site. Once collected from the site, the fat is processed and prepared for transfer to the face via syringe. Several areas of the face that commonly experience volume loss can be targeted via fat transfer, including:

• Cheeks
• Paranasal area (area adjacent to the nasal cavities)
• Nasolabial folds
• Lips
• Tear trough/ under-eye area

This type of injection is a permanent filler and can provide lasting results.

Reasons to Consider Fat Transfer to the Face

Facial fat transfer offers many benefits to patients. It is an ideal option for individuals that:

• Are unsatisfied with the contours of their face
• Are suffering from age-related volume loss in the face
• Have a deflated or sunken-in facial appearance
• Would like to restore their youthful facial appearance
• Are unhappy with the file lines and wrinkled appearance of their face

How Facial Fat Transfer Can Improve Your Appearance

After your procedure, the transferred fat will redevelop a blood supply, and the fat that survives the transfer is permanent. Although we cannot stop the natural aging process, fat transfer to the face can help you look more youthful for longer. A fat transfer also has the added benefit of reducing the chance of an allergic reaction since the substance is not foreign; this, in turn, can reduce complications and aid your recovery.

You can expect natural looking results following your procedure. Friends and family members may notice that your face appears younger and more refreshed, and you may feel more confident interacting with others or having your picture taken from any angle now with plumped facial contours.

Attention, ladies! Dr. Ary Krau has exciting news to share with you.

Breast augmentation is still the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the country, according to recent statistics. However, many women are embracing a different kind of aesthetic. Instead of having large, round breast implants placed, they are opting for natural, modest breast enhancement that looks proportional and pretty.

Simply put, when it comes to breast size, the days of “Bigger Is Better” are over.

In order to meet the new aesthetic ideal, Dr. Krau has a creative solution. Here, he sheds light on the unique way to give his Miami breast augmentation patients full, natural-looking breasts and soft, deep cleavage.

Part One: Silicone Implants

The first step of the procedure is the placement of implants. Together, you and Dr. Krau will select a pair of modestly sized silicone breast implants. Though Dr. Krau offers both saline and silicone implants, the majority of his patients prefer silicone implants.

Thanks to the nature of the filling, silicone implants resemble the feel of natural breast tissue. And, they are less likely to ripple in the implant pocket. Also, they may last longer than saline counterparts.

Part Two: Autologous Fat Transfer

Now, here comes the not-so-traditional twist. Dr. Krau will take excess fat from another area of your body (e.g., your abdomen or thighs), purify it and then inject it into your breasts to cushion the implants and soften your cleavage. The fat is ideal for covering implants, so the results look subtle and natural. Eventually, the fat will develop its own blood supply to survive in the transplanted area. Since it’s your own fat, there is very little chance of an adverse reaction.

There are many advantages to the fat transfer techniques. One of the most noteworthy is the fact that the donor area (abdomen or thighs) will look slimmer, and the grafted area (your breasts) will look bigger! Most of Dr. Krau’s breast augmentation patients have unwanted fat in another area of the body, so fat transfer is ideal.
