Fat Transfer to Breasts Buttocks and Face during Liposuction in Colorado by Dr. Gregory Denzel

Is fat beautiful? It certainly can be, when you take your unwanted fat and put it to good use.  I’m talking about fat transfer, a dermal filler taken from an area where there is unwanted fat and then injecting it into an area where more fat is needed, like breasts, buttocks, facial lines and even deep scars. The beauty of this procedure is since this is your fat it’s guaranteed to be accepted by the body without an allergic reaction, it’s permanent and the results are immediate.

Cosmetic procedures are becoming so affordable anymore it seems everyone is taking advantage of that. With this new procedure it’s even easier; the recovery time is 1-2 days, it takes place in an office setting while you’re mildly sedated. You’re able to watch the entire procedure, making it possible to participate and tell the doctor what your expectations are, unlike some procedures where you undergo general anesthesia and hope for the best. This procedure allows you to be involved.

Fat transfers in Coloradocan be used anywhere, it works well in the face to improve acne scars, plump up the cheeks, fill the delicate under eye area (eye bags) which tends to make people look older and tired. It also fills those pesky smile lines, without it changing the way your face moves. You’ll look like you, just younger and suppler. Everyone wants that. Thinning lips is another use for fat transfer, however it will not be permanent, and the muscles in your mouth won’t preserve the fat the same so eventually it will be reabsorbed. Most doctors will overfill the lips at the initial transfer because most likely a third of what was put in will be absorbed immediately, give or take a couple days so it’s something to consider when you have a couple days to yourself so you’re not self conscious about how big they’ll be. Juvederm is an excellent alternative to fat transfer when it comes to lips, it last 8 months and what the doctor puts in is what it will be, there is no downtime and you’ll have an idea of what you want to look like if you decide to go with the fat transfer. Overfilling is very common, and done to every area where fat is being transferred, whether it’s the face or breasts to account for the amount that will be reabsorbed. Over a 3 to 12 month time frame the treated area will lose volume it common to be about 80% of what was put in and whatever remains will be there permanently. Also your fat can be stored up to a year so if you lose too much volume you can have the stored fat injected again. Fat transfer will also correct deep wrinkles, in this case though some people may have a permanent effect while others it will eventually reabsorbed. Again, Juvederm would be an alternative and or a tool to see what you’ll look like and whether or not you want to make that permanent.  Breasts turn out beautifully when augmented with fat, they look natural and the recovery is nothing compared to other types of implants. It truly could be used anywhere, calf implants, sculpting a man’s chest, buttocks, and anything else you can think of.

Cost of fat transfersvaries depending on your geographical area of course but the average cost is anywhere from 1,400 to 2,000 for the face and 3,000-4,500 for larger areas of your body. Finding the right surgeon is very important, ask questions, bring photos of what you’re hoping for, of course be realistic, and don’t assume that you’ll look like you did in high school. Ask the doctor what he/she expects to see and since you’ll be awake throughout the procedure you can communicate your desired results as you go.
