Facial FAT TRANSFERS and How They Work | Plastic Surgery Unplugged

[@janisdeitsch2985]

What a great video! Thankyou I'm in London, UK and I've just had a deep plane lower face and neck lift, temporal brow lift and facial fat transfer. I had so much volume loss, my surgeon needed to transfer 42mls fat which I think is quite a lot?! . I am only 2 weeks out from the procedure so there is still some residual bruising and quite a lot of swelling but my scars are healing very well and so far I am pleased with the results. Your video was so informative. It is very generous of you to share your knowledge like this. Wish I lived near you!

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

Thank you for your comments

[@mikedavies22126]

Thank You Dr Raghu. This was an extremely informative and well explained video

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

So nice of you. Thank you!

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

Thank you so much

[@readingsbeyondtheveil4279]

This has been SO informative as I am recovering from upper & lower eyelid surgery and fat transfer as of a several days ago. Just reassurance from what my doctor educated me on. Great to hear it again. Thank you!

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

:) Glad you had a great experience, and happy to hear that you found my video informative!

[@sharonmoshiri6637]

Yet another excellent video. Learned so much!

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

Thank you so much. It means the world when people comment! It takes a lot of work to make these, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching!

[@delainejackson9581]

On my face

[@LittleBits0fIce]

Hi did you end up getting the procedure. ?

[@delainejackson9581]

Yes I did. Went really well was quite surprised myself. Thx

[@IloveCamels335]

@@delainejackson9581Are you happy with the results? Was it painful? Did it leave bad scars in the areas where the fat was harvested? Thank you!

[@TSlowdive]

Thank you Doc. for this informative video! I'm sorry if I'm using wrong terms. Are alive/active Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) included in the fat being injected in the face? In other words, will person getting fat grafting benefit from the rejuvenation impact of MSCs as well?

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

YES active MSC's ! Yes you get additional long term benefit from the MSC. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7015601/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31739897/

[@TSlowdive]

@@AthreFacialPlastics Thank you so much Doc! This is very helpful, especially the 2 articles!

[@TSlowdive]

@@AthreFacialPlastics I have one more question please. Would someone who had a HA injected in a tear through area be a good candidate for a lipofilling in the same area? Would HA filler have any impact on fat transfer? How long would you need to wait to do a fat transfer after HA filler injected in the same area?

[@marcy6951]

Very informative Doc, thank you.

Hi, great information, as I have wasted lots of cash on other treatments...can we have a video of live fat transfer please , here in Pakistan they do with big tube syringes I'm curious to know the canola process ...

[@sarahsam7777]

Did u done fat transfer

[@awaken2peace]

What are the ways you recommend for "protecting" the transferred fat to the face? What should I totally avoid?

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

Full Normal activity

[@lindsaymorgan1522]

If you got a fat transfer to your cheeks but it left a irregularity in your cheek that makes it appear like it’s bulging out a bit and you want it removed how do you remove it or do you even recommend removing it or would removing it make more issues

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

removing likely leaves greater issues. May try a dilute steroid injection.

[@AnastasiaWaszkiewicz]

​@@AthreFacialPlasticsI bieve that steroids injection isn't an good solution, cause steroids work by temporarly reducing inflammation in tissue, I think it's better to use enzymes such as deoxycholic acid and collagenase on the area, since I'm myself person with liquid silicone fillers I noticed that enzymes work way better and effective than steroids for removing lumphs and contour irregularities

[@juliaal.4051]

Thank you very much for the information. How many ml you take normally for full face?

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

The number of ML is completely variable depending on: 1. The amt of volume loss 2. The skin thickness 3. The desired amt of rejuvenation (e.g. are we doing lips also) All of that being said I normally end up at about 20 cc for a full face

[@eunicemungwariri4083]

That's great. Question.Can fat transfer be done on a scar on the scalp formed after cancer lump was removed

[@raghuathre5667]

Yes

[@indiankitchenrecipes2546]

Hi.. doctor i underwent craniotomy on my forehead in very small portion and calcification occur at that site and their is decompression is there doctor suggested to get fat transfer to get volume there rather than implant..will that fat stay there forever

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

Possibly yes. Depends on the amount of volume correction we are trying to achieve and the tissue that exists in the tissue bed.

[@indiankitchenrecipes2546]

@AthreFacialPlastics thanks for the reply but doctor here in India didn't explained nothing much about tissue and all they said fat graft surgery can be done..but iam worried about results

[@Infosana-gj8fl]

It’s a 34 years old early for a face lifting.??My face been destroyed after Morpheus 8 I lost huge amount of fat from my face after just 1 session of Morpheus 8 . My face looking very saggy dropped and big hollows under eye and zigomatic bones . I’ve consulted a lot of ISTAMBUL SURGEON AND NONE OF THEM SAID ANYTHING ABOUT FAT GRAFTING ALL OF THEM OPTED IN FOR A FACE LIFT . But face lift will not help me whit volume I’ve lost

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

You may need the combination of a facelift to lift fallen tissues with fat to augment volume. If you are interested in coming to Houston for potential surgery, we would be happy to setup a consultation. If interested, please email at [e-mail]

[@sheriu7167]

I’m in Turkey Ankara and had both a facelift and fat transfers and the surgeon did an exceptional job… much better than my friends who paid 3x in my home country

[@miglenaspiridonova]

​@sheriu7167 Lots of Americans go to turkey for plastic surgery, dental work, and hair transplant. Not only is a lot cheaper in turkey but I guess you have a very good doctor's as well

[@carolinaluna3756]

Can you reverse the results, if worst case you don’t like it?

[@rhondas3017]

Another dr on utube says to not get fat transfers after 40. He also said up to 50 is fine, but only in conjunction with a facelift. Do you agree?

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

No I do not agree with this. Fat volume replenishment is an integral part of facial rejuvenation at any age.

[@IloveCamels335]

Very interesting. Considering this for my 50th birthday 😇 Some questions I have.. where you harvest the fat.. abdominal area or thighs.. how big and visible are the scars afterwards? Then what happens if I do not like the look of the extra fat in my face.. is there any way to remove it or dissolve it? I am asking that because when I was in my 20ies I had this really full puppy fat face and I was so happy when that went away during my Thirties.. I want to restore some volume especially in the temples etc but I do not want to look again like I did back then. And last question: as I am a very active slim and fit person.. wouldn´t the grafted fat disappear again when your overall body fat is very low? Or it still stays? Thank you so much!

[@jodybucci285]

Do you use a needle or a cannula to inject under the eyes? Isn’t using a needle risky? Did you over inject fat initially? Does it “settle”?

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

ALWAYS a canula!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@urwajatt6556]

I had a fat transfer before one and half month i see much improvement in my acne scars but the the bad effect is this i lost my face shape its looks totally different.i m much worried and feel shy to go of i use ice and heat pad for blanching the fat I don't know it will adjust with the passing of time or not.i have a question will I get back my face shape or i need to go farther procedure?

Do you do fat transfer without conjunction to plastic surgery but just as the only procedure?

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

Yes

[@Dgyrl4ever]

I didn't see any before and after fat transfer pics on your website. Where are they?

[@AthreFacialPlastics]

Please look at our Instagram and FB. Almost every full facial rejuvenation procedure has fat as a portion of their rejuvenation

[@shirleywarner1135]

I had fat transfer done to my face. One side got infected and it looks like not much took. Why and what could I do 😢

Give me a shout at [e-mail]. We can do a virtual consult and let me see what the options are.
