Often, patients ask us to remove fat from one area, but not to waste it! It is possible to sculpt an area of excess fat, and through a process attributed largely to the success of Dr. Sydney Coleman from New York, Dr. Chernoff can meticulously inject your fatty tissue into areas where aging has caused fatty deposits to deteriorate. The most common areas for fat injections/fat sculpture are in the brow area, or under the eyes to fill in a gaunt or sunken in look. Other areas include marionette lines or nasolabial folds. The utilization of your fat via injections to augment subcutaneous defects in your facial appearance is totally proportional to the imagination and ingenuity of the operating surgeon. Your fatty tissue can be stored for several months, giving you the ability to re-inject your fat as a “top up” procedure.
