Anti-aging skincare products are non-surgical
alternatives to fat grafting. Surgical
alternatives include dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, face lift, thread lift,
injection therapy, collagen replacement therapy and chemical skin peel.
Anesthesia with Fat Grafting:
Fat grafting is performed with a local anesthetic.
Potential Complications from Fat Grafting:
Possible risks following fat grafting include blood clots, infection, nerve damage, scarring, bleeding and a negative reaction to the anesthesia.
Prognosis after Fat Grafting:
The prognosis for a positive end result following fat grafting is good. However, fat is reabsorbed into the body, so the results may only last for a year or less.
