Los Angeles Facial Fat Transfers | West Hollywood Fat Grafting, Injections

WHAT IS A FAT TRANSFER PROCEDURE?

At Sedgh Plastic Surgery in West Hollywood, the fat transfer procedure offers a natural, long-lasting way to restore facial volume and rejuvenate your appearance. This minimally invasive procedure uses your body’s own fat to fill in areas that have lost volume, such as hollow cheeks, thin lips, and sunken eyes. With double board certification and nearly two decades of surgical experience, Dr. Jacob Sedgh provides exceptional precision and care, helping patients achieve a balanced, youthful look.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE TO UNDERGO A FAT TRANSFER PROCEDURE?

You may have lost volume in your cheeks, lips, and eye area as you age, and such changes can lead to a perpetually tired or disinterested appearance. But while volume loss is usually attributed to aging, it can also be caused by extreme weight loss. Aside from restoring volume to various parts of the face, fat grafting can also be an option for augmenting or reshaping a facial feature.

BENEFITS OF faT TRANSFER

When performed by a skilled facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Sedgh, fat transfer offers numerous benefits:

Enhanced Facial Contours: Fat transfer sculpts and refines facial features, restoring volume for a naturally contoured look.
Smoother Skin Texture: Transplanted fat improves the quality of the skin, contributing to a smoother and more supple appearance.
Youthful and Rejuvenated Appearance: This minimally invasive procedure helps combat signs of aging, restoring fullness to areas that appear tired or sunken.
Long-Lasting, Natural Results: Because the fat used is from your own body, results are both natural-looking and enduring.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

HOW CAN I GET STARTED?

A successful initial consultation is integral to the overall success of any surgical procedure. Dr. Sedgh will take the time to understand your goals, determine your eligibility for the procedure, and examine your problem areas to determine the best possible treatment for your needs.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN ONCE THE FAT IS EXTRACTED?

Once the extraction is complete, the harvested fat cells will undergo a sophisticated filtration process to remove impurities and make them suitable for transplantation. Dr. Sedgh will then use a needle or cannula to inject the fat into the areas that need augmentation. The injections will be performed in small increments to ensure maximum volume restoration without over-correcting the problem area, which can lead to unnatural or asymmetrical results.

VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS CAN BE SCHEDULED AT ANY TIME.

If you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sedgh but cannot visit his clinic for an in-office meeting, you have other options. He also conducts virtual consultations via video conferencing for out-of-town and overseas patients. Should you decide to undergo the procedure with him, his office can assist you with travel arrangements for a thoroughly hassle-free experience.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT WITH MY FAT TRANSFER PROCEDURE?

Facial fat grafting is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed in two steps. The doctor will first perform liposuction on the donor site to extract the fat to be used for the procedure. Once the fat has been harvested and prepared, the doctor will then inject the specific facial areas that require treatment.

WHAT STEPS ARE TAKEN DURING THE EXTRACTION? WILL THERE BE ANY INCISIONS?

Fat extraction is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, as it requires minimal incisions to obtain access to the fat. Dr. Sedgh will create a small incision on the chosen donor area and insert an instrument to carefully collect the appropriate amount of fat needed for the procedure.

HOW LONG WILL A FAT TRANSFER LAST?

Fat grafting can last up to several years, depending on how well your body responds to the procedure. Your body tissue can reabsorb the fat cells that have been transferred. Dr. Sedgh can give you a general idea of how long your fat transfer will last, depending on your specific treatment.

IS A FAT TRANSFER PROCEDURE SAFE?

Dr. Sedgh uses the safest and most advanced fat transfer techniques to ensure the quality of the grafted fat is preserved. He also takes your unique facial proportions into account. Starting with his careful evaluation of your facial structure is the best way to achieve a smoother, more natural-looking outcome that promotes harmony and balance with the rest of the face.

HOW MUCH TIME WILL I NEED
FOR RECOVERY?

Facial fat transfer is an outpatient procedure with minimal downtime and the recovery period for a fat grafting procedure varies between patients. Dr. Sedgh will make it a point to personally monitor your progress through several follow-up appointments, starting on the first postoperative day. After the first few weeks, expect regularly scheduled post-op appointments with Dr. Sedgh for up to a year, as this ensures optimum healing and the integrity of your surgical results.
