Fat Transfer to the Face in Winnipeg, at First Glance

Serving Patients Across Canada for 25+ Years

What is Fat Transfer to the Face?

A beautiful, youthful face is characterized by defined facial contours, symmetry, and healthy glowing skin.

Unfortunately, as we age, we lose fat, muscle, and bone density beneath the skin. These changes result in less symmetry, weaker bone structure, and creates deep hollows that cast dark shadows on the face.

A Fat Transfer to the face is a cosmetic procedure that involves taking fat from one area of the body and injecting it into the face.

Fat transfers restore volume, improves facial contours, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. The procedure is minimally invasive and can improve the overall appearance of your face.

Fat is usually taken from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks and is then injected into areas of the face that need more volume or contouring. This helps to restore a youthful look and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Fat is natural and helps to restore the skin's natural elasticity, making it look more supple and soft.

Fat transfer to the face can also help to reduce the appearance of scars, as the fat helps to fill in the indentations caused by scarring. This can help to improve the overall appearance of the face and make it look more youthful and smooth.

A Natural Fat Transfer can also help to improve the look of the eyes, as the fat helps to fill in hollows and wrinkles. This can help to open up the eyes and make them look more vibrant and youthful.

With a Natural Fat Transfer, your facial contour can be dramatically improved by adding volume to your cheeks, eyes, temples, chin, and jawline. Compared to temporary facial fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane, Natural Fat Transfer allows for larger volumes of augmentation and creates longer-lasting and, in some cases, permanent results.

Proper Candidates For Fat Transfer To The Face

Ideal weight for Natural Fat Transfer surgery means that you have enough fat, preferably in your lower abdomen or inner thighs, to allow a decent amount of fat to be harvested. Excellent results can be achieved on slender women. However, if you have extra fat around your tummy or inner thighs, this is preferred.

Choosing Your Surgeon

When considering a surgeon, it’s important to research all of your options and choose a Surgical specialist who is Board Certified in both Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. While many plastic surgeons perform many different types of surgeries, you should select a surgeon who focuses strictly on a specific procedure and is recognized for excellence in this procedure.

What are the benefits if your surgeon has a reconstructive surgery background? Most of the world’s best aesthetic surgeons began with reconstructive practices. In fact, almost all of the groundbreaking techniques in aesthetic surgery have reconstructive origins.

Reconstructive surgery cases are typically more complex and often require highly specialized surgical techniques. Comfort, confidence, and predictability with advanced reconstructive surgery techniques have become powerful tools often adapted to aesthetic procedures.

All of the Plastic Surgeons at The First Glance are Board Certified Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgeons. Many of our surgeons are also Double Board Certified.
