A fat transfer, or fat injection, removes fat from areas in which you have an excess, such as the waist or thighs, and transfers it into areas that may be lacking in volume, such as your face, hands, breasts or buttocks. This well-tolerated procedure produces natural-looking and long-lasting results. Every year Dr. Victoria Falcone helps patients achieve the look they’ve always wanted and become more excited about their appearance with a successful fat grafting procedure. Dr. Falcone has been a liposuction specialist since 2007 and performs liposuction daily at the Falcone Center.
FAT TRANSFER TO THE BUTTOCKS (ALSO KNOWN AS BRAZILLIAN BUTT LIFT)
How do you feel about your butt? The shape and proportion of the buttocks are important factors influencing the attractiveness of the body.
However, these attributes are largely determined by your genetics. Both your skeletal structure and how your body stores fat determine the shape of your bottom.
Recent celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez have popularized the look of women having fuller buttocks. And while many women desire to have a similar look, some cannot do so easily due to their genetics.
As Dr. Falcone states, “What we are seeing is a shift in the concept of the perfect figure. In years past many women just wanted to be as skinny as possible. But now we see many women embracing a fuller, rounder butt as the new standard of beauty.”
Diet and exercise can tone your muscles and help you maintain a healthy body weight, but many patients still feel unhappy that their “flat” bottom lacks shape. In fact, a common source of frustration is that your success in maintaining a slender figure may actually undermine your efforts to have a large voluptuous bottom.
Brazilian butt lift surgery can help you overcome the effects of genetics by reshaping the buttocks, hips, and thighs.
If your goal is any of the following you may be a perfect candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift:
- Enhance the curves of your lower body
- Reduce fat pockets on your hips, thighs or belly while adding fullness to the buttocks
- Help clothing fit more attractively
- Give a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing shape to flat buttocks
- Enhance your overall proportions by improving balance between your upper and lower body
Compared to previously available forms of buttock enhancement surgery, such as silicone butt implants, a Brazilian butt lift can provide more natural-looking solution for the sagging and shapelessness that sometimes occur with age. And at the same time the procedure has a lower risk of infection.
FAT TRANSFER TO THE FACE
Would you like a more youthful appearance without fillers? Facial fat transfer may be for you.
As we age the loss of facial fat volume can cause us to have a hollowed or fatigued look, which sometimes resembles the look someone may have after a prolonged illness.
Facial hollows from that atrophy develop under the eyes, below the cheekbones, and around the mouth, but also can occur along the jawline, temples, brow and forehead.
Ironically people with low body fat who are in good shape sometimes experience this facial hollowing the most as they age. The loss of volume in these areas hastens the look of aging and can make people appear older than they are.
The face can appear dramatically younger by restoring volume to the under eye area, treating local wrinkles, softening the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek region, and filling the deep grooves around the mouth.
Healthy patients, whose faces appear hollow, especially under the eyes and in the cheeks, may be good candidates for facial fat transfer. Age can create a sharp line of transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. Those seeking to restore volume and vitality to the face may find that facial fat transfer is the ideal procedure to address those concerns.
Dr. Falcone is an expert in facial contouring. Successfully helping hundreds of patients per year feel better about their appearance.
There are a number of reasons why patients may choose to utilize their own fat for a facial rejuvenation. For some patients dermal fillers are not an option due to sensitivities or allergies to the synthetic materials. There is no chance of this reaction occurring with a facial fat transfer, since the procedure uses the body’s own fat cells.
Fat transfer also contains growth factors, which can help rejuvenate the surrounding skin. This can contribute to a healthier and more youthful tissue growth.
The fat may also provide an increased longevity of results, sometimes lasting for several years as compared to fillers which last 9-12 months.
FAT TRANSFER TO THE HANDS / HAND REJUVENATION
Are your hands making you look older than you feel?
After the face, our hands are the next most visible and dramatic indicator of our age. The hands undergo the deterioration of aging the same way the face does. The soft tissue in the hands gradually loses fat as we age making the veins, tendons, and bones more prominent. This can give your hands a noticeably “bondy” or “veiny” look.
The skin of the hands is usually even more exposed to the sun than our faces, and often less protected. So the skin on the hands becomes loose, wrinkled and pigmented.
“Many of our patients who have facial rejuvenation are increasingly aware of the incongruity between the youthful face and the aged hands,” according to Dr. Falcone. “You can estimate a person’s age pretty accurately by viewing the hands alone, which makes hand rejuvenation a popular procedure.”
Hand rejuvenation can create a more youthful appearance to the hands. Restoring the lost volume through fat transfer to the hands can make the veins, tendons and bones less prominent. And surface treatments with laser or microneedling can also help restore the skin.
Dr. Falcone helps hundreds of patients per year to achieve their goal of a more youthful appearance. She expertly extracts the fat from other parts of the body and carefully injects it into the back of the hands. There, it will add slight thickness to skin and soften the hand for a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Falcone is exceptional in her field and utilizes a combination of techniques to give each patient the best results for their hand rejuvenation. During your consultation she will advise you of your options and what treatment or combination of treatments may help you to achieve the best results.
Dr Falcone Uses The Newest Wells Johnson HVP Auto-Graft Infusion System
• Safer And More Effective Because It’s A Closed System
The Wells Johnson High Volume Precision Auto-Graft Infusion System collects fat for transfer hygienically and gently. Due to the fact that each component of the Wells HVP system is designed to keep harvested fat sterile and safely contained from start to finish, it is an ideal way to guarantee the safest, long-lasting results for our patients.
• Safer And More Effective Because It’s A Closed System
The Wells Johnson High Volume Precision Auto-Graft Infusion System collects fat for transfer hygienically and gently. Due to the fact that each component of the Wells HVP system is designed to keep harvested fat sterile and safely contained from start to finish, it is an ideal way to guarantee the safest, long-lasting results for our patients.
• Gentle Tissue Processing
A Vibrator Tissue Separator divides the harvested tissue into its usable components using low-level vibration. This eliminates centrifugal forces from the process and accelerates the rate at which the fat and fluids separate. Tissue can be separated without interruption during active fat harvesting.
• More Precise Control with the HVP AUTOGRAFT INFUSER
This unit enables precise control of the pump speed, flow pressure, pulse rate, and pulse volume of the HVP system. The Autograft Infuser makes the tissue re-injection process safer and more efficient. This feature can guarantee that the body is exposed to the same controlled levels of pressure and pulse during the re-injection as during the tissue harvesting.
The design of the Wells Johnson HVP System makes it easy to control, as well as to sterilize. You can be confident that you will receive results that not only look beautiful; they will also be accepted safely by your body, thanks to the system’s hygienic preparation of your fat.
• Additional Benefits Of The Wells Johnson HVP System
A Shorter Procedure
The Vibrator Tissue Separator processes your harvested tissue more quickly than traditional methods, without the need to subject the material to centrifugal force. This means that your fat is cleaned and ready to be applied for body contouring in less time.
More Viable Fat
Due to the fact that the harvested fat stays within the Wells HVP System from when it leaves your body until when it is reintroduced, there is no opportunity for your tissue to be contaminated or compromised. The system is capable of collecting and preparing a large volume of fat in order to enable your best contouring results. While the body never accepts 100% of fat transferred, it has a higher chance of accepting the outcomes accomplished with a Wells HVP System for your fat graft.
Less Strain On Your Body
The Wells HVP System allows patients to have a quicker recovery. The system’s uniquely-designed cannula contains a long, continuous tube, or lumen, which is designed to reduce the physical strain on the body by helping maintain continuous and smooth pressure when collected or delivering tissue.
