San Francisco & Bay Area Fat Injections

What are fat injections?

Fat injection or autologous fat transplantation is the process of extracting fat from one’s own body (using liposuction techniques) and then using this fat as a filler for treating wrinkles, adding volume for facial and hand rejuvenation, and treating contour deformities after liposuction or from scars. Fat transferred in this manner can be considered an ideal filler material for many reasons. First, fat as a filler is very safe since it comes from your own body. Second, about half of the fat injected becomes living tissue and provides a permanent natural result. Finally, aside from procedure costs, the fat used comes at no cost and for most of us there is plenty of reserve!
