Revive your features, renew your confidence – experience facial fat grafting in St. Louis, Missouri

As we age, the fat in our face decreases and the cheeks deflate and droop, but fat grafting in St. Louis can counter the effects of aging. Gravity causes the lower eyelid to elongate, the nasolabial folds to deepen and jowls to form. This can leave you with a “deflated” appearance. Facial fat grafting at Cabbabe Plastic Surgery can help reverse this. Dr. Samer Cabbabe is regarded as one of the best plastic surgeons in St. Louis and the U.S.

What Is Fat Grafting?

Facial fat grafting addresses volume loss that has resulted in sagging skin and flattened areas in the facial region. As the cheek is augmented and filled, the nasolabial fold disappears, the jowls disappear and the lower eyelid shortens. This results in a restoration of anatomy and a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Common areas for fat grafting include around the eyes in the upper and lower eyelids, the forehead, the eyebrow, the cheeks, nasolabial folds and lips. Occasionally, Dr. Cabbabe may recommend a trial with a temporary collagen filler to ensure that you are pleased with the appearance prior to proceeding with more permanent facial fat grafting.

This procedure entails liposuction, removing fat from an area of the body, commonly in the abdomen, hips or thighs. The fat is then processed and purified and injected into areas that are carefully marked prior to surgery. The operation can be done in the office under local anesthesia, local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia depending on your desires and needs.

Dr. Cabbabe uses the latest equipment, the Coleman Fat Grafting system and Revolve Fat Grafting system, which help ensure that only the purest of fat is harvested and injected.
