The Accetta Institute for Cosmetic Surgery offers a variety of Natural Solutions to help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted. Fat, hated by so many men and women, is actually the body’s natural fountain of youth. Dr. Accetta has successfully performed fat transfer, also known as fat injection or fat grafting, on hundreds of patients.
Having a healthy amount of body fat keeps us healthy and looking young. Unfortunately, even with diet and exercise, as we age, fat becomes harder and harder to get rid of in unwanted areas such as the hips, buttocks, thighs and waist line. With a fat transfer procedure, Dr. Accetta can take fat from those unwanted areas and move it to other parts of the body like the breasts, cheeks and lips making you look younger and healthier.
About Fat Transfer Procedure
The first step in fat grafting is to perform liposuction and harvest fat from areas such as the thighs, buttocks and abdomen. The fat must be extracted as gently as possible so as to not disrupt or damage the fat cells. The surgeon performing this technique must have a high level of liposuction skill and the fat must be removed meticulously so as to keep all of the fat alive. The fat is then placed into syringes.
After carefully marking the areas where the fat will be transferred, Dr. Accetta can then begin to slowly re-inject the fat into the desired areas. The goal is to not just “fill up” the treated area, but rather carefully place the fat into the tissue small increments at a time, so that the fat can attach itself into surrounding tissue with the greatest blood supply and nutrients, enabling it to flourish and survive.
Puregraft
Puregraft is a method of fat transfer in which the fat is concentrated, creating a pure mixture of fat and stem cells. Unlike some techniques where the stem cells are artificially activated, the Puregraft technique increases the ratio of stem cells to fat, causing the body to naturally activate the stem cells.
This highly advanced technique requires great skill and knowledge. Specialized filters are used in this procedure to remove all excess fluid, debris, broken fat cells and other unusable materials in order to provide the purest concentration of fat and stem cells possible. The puregraft procedure is proven to result in significantly higher fat volume and maintenance, taking away perviously inconsistent results.
The fat grafting process is typically performed with Natural Breast Augmentation, where fat is removed from the lower areas of the body and then injected into the breast to increase size and volume. Along with this procedure, many women benefit from having fat transferred to their lips, cheeks and other parts of the face, giving them a younger appearance and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
