What Is Facial Fat Grafting?
These days, you have more options than ever when it comes to enhancing the fullness and curves of your face. One treatment that has quickly grown in popularity is facial fat grafting (autologous fat transfer), which utilizes natural fat taken from your own body to add volume to the areas around the eyes, jawline, and cheeks. At Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery, we use facial fat transfer to combat some of the most common signs of aging, smoothing lines, wrinkles, and folds throughout your face using your own fatty tissue. The result is a rejuvenated facial appearance and a smoother, taut body. To find out more about facial fat grafting, contact our practice in Sherman, TX to schedule a private consultation with Dr. Chirag Mehta.
How Is Facial Fat Grafting Performed?
Fat transfer is a two-step process that includes liposuction and placement. Since only a minimal amount of fat is needed, Dr. Mehta usually uses local anesthesia. To start, Dr. Mehta will use liposuction to extract fat, which typically comes from the patient's flanks, hips, or abdomen. After harvesting the fat, he will process it to ensure it's pure and fit for injection. Dr. Mehta uses different injection angles and techniques to create the most even, natural appearance. Based on your desired look, fat may be injected into your lips, cheeks, and/or under your eyes to add volume, as well as to correct wrinkles, lines, and facial depressions.
What Are the Benefits of Facial Fat Grafting?
Dermal filler injections are some of the most sought-after beauty procedures carried out worldwide. But while these treatments utilize synthetic fillers, facial fat grafting at our Sherman, TX practice provides the same outcomes with a number of additional benefits, such as:
- Removes stubborn fat from problem areas
- Less risk of allergic reaction
- Tightens and adds volume to skin
- Smooths lines and furrows
- Utilizes your own fat instead of formulated fillers
- Minimal downtime
- Diminishes the look of scarring
- Adds volume to the lips, cheeks, and other areas
- Long-lasting outcomes
Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Mehta is hands down amazing!! If you want to not only look amazing but feel amazing after surgery, then look no further! I had a breast augmentation with lift last year by a surgeon in the metroplex and was under the impression that I would be getting 380ml implants going into surgery. I went home with a drain on each side of my breasts and when I was finally awake enough, and read over my paperwork, I discovered my implant size was only 295ml!!! The previous surgeon told me that it was because I didn’t have enough skin to stretch any bigger of implant into and even with the 295ml implants, he had barely enough tissue to stitch back together!! Due to him stitching my skin so tightly it lost blood flow and became necrotic immediately!!! After 6 months of healing and being off of work: not being able to take a shower, only sponge baths for 3 months, having multiple debridements by the previous surgeon and his NP’s, having a wound vac for 3 of those months to my breasts, leaving that previous surgeon because I thought I was going to die due to the tissue kept dying, getting deeper and more necrotic each week that went by, to seeking help from a wound care professional, I finally healed, but was left with horrible scarring and hating the appearance of my breasts, that honestly looked no different than before surgery!!! Fast forward one year. I was in a car wreck and due to impact from the air bag, and pain/injury to my breasts, I was referred by a friend and co-worker to Dr. Mehta, and thank God I was!! He was upfront with me from the beginning. He told me that he would try his best to go a little bigger with my implant size, but was unsure if that would be possible, and I was just happy knowing what to expect waking up from surgery, and knowing that my breasts would be repaired and corrected at least!! Waking up from surgery with Dr. Mehta, I was told by his amazing staff in the surgery center that he was able to place 385ml implants, after all!! Immediately, you could see cleavage, unlike before, and my postop instructions has been a breeze!!! I didn’t have 1 drain leaving the surgery center, was able to shower 2 days after surgery, went back to work 1 week later, and I still can’t believe how easy he made this surgery!! The previous surgeon had even put me on antibiotics and Gabapentin prior to the surgery, and I kept asking Dr Mehta and his office if I needed this and was so scared that I would, but I didn’t and haven’t needed it at all!! I was traumatized by the previous surgeon and I am 100% sure I have PTSD from my prior experience, but Dr. Mehta has restored my faith in Plastic Surgery, and I WILL NEVER go to anyone else but DR. MEHTA!!!! I can’t praise him or thank him enough!! My outcome being just 3 weeks out is amazing and I’m so happy with my results!! Everyone comments on how much different my appearance looks now in just T Shirts, and my husband’s sanity has also been at ease because of the experience this time!!! If I could give Dr. Mehta 100 stars in this review I would!! So, again, if you are looking for a kind, honest, caring, and professional surgeon, I can promise you that you’ve found it Dr. Mehta!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Dr Mehta performed my trigger finger surgery and I've had terrific results. I had abdominoplasty-extended with flank and central liposuction plus mastopexy in Dec 2023. The results I've had with this surgery has surpassed all of my expectations in my wildest dreams! I couldn't have asked for better results ! Dr Mehta and his staff are awesome and I would recommend them for anyone looking for skilled surgeon that truly cares for his patients!
Great Dr. Great staff.
