Fat Grafting / Fat Injection
The technique of fat grafting has significantly enhanced the results plastic and
cosmetic surgeons can achieve with a number of various procedures. Fat grating
has a number of applications, is minimally invasive, and is an exciting technique for facial rejuvenation, breast reconstruction, and soft-tissue voids. Autologous fat
grafting is performed by carefully harvesting the fat with liposuction from your
abdomen, hips, thighs, or buttocks. This is an added benefit for most patients when
undergoing this procedure. The fat is then delicately processed to remove everything
except your own body's fat cells. The concentrated fat is then injected with small
needles eliminating the need for any incision. Some overcorrection is required as not
all of the fat injected survives and depending on the indication, a second or third
stage of fat grafting may be required. Autologous fat grafting can be used for the
following:
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial Asymmetry
Contour Defects following Liposuction
Lip Augmentation
Soft-Tissue Filler
Breast Reconstruction
In Combination with other Cosmetic Surgery
Our cosmetic surgery team will help you decide which application best suits your
needs. At the Desai Center of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, we believe that
patients, their desires, and anatomy are all unique. Therefore, Dr. Desai evaluates
each patient and creates a customized surgical plan for all of his patients. To

Facial Rejuvenation w/ Fat Grafting, Cosmetic Surgery
As we age, our facial soft tissues deflate and descend creating a hollow
appearance around the eyes and cheeks. By restoring volume to these areas,
autologous fat grafting can re-create a full and youthful appearance. Fat
grafting facial rejuvenation is performed by injected your body's own fat into
the cheeks, wrinkle around the mouth, and sagging areas around your jaw to
give you a natural refreshed look WITHOUT any incisions. The recovery time
is much shorter than many of the other facial rejuvenation techniques. For
more information about Fat Grafting Facial Rejuvenation, please contact our
Jacksonville plastic surgery team at (904) 262-DESAI (3372).
Soft-Tissue Filler, Cosmetic Surgery in Jacksonville
Fat grafting can also be used to help fill in and blunt wrinkles around the neck,
cheeks, forehead, and face. Fat has been especially useful in blunting the
nasolabial fold (line around the check) and furrows around the brow. Please

Contour Irregularities after Liposuction - Cosmetic Surgery
Occasionally, after body contouring procedures and liposuction, patients may
develop contour irregularities. These contour irregularities can be corrected
with the injection of fat WITHOUT the need for incisions. Some overcorrection
is required as not all of the fat injected survives, and a second or third stage
of fat grafting may be required. For more information, please contact our
Jacksonville plastic surgery team at (904) 262-DESAI (3372).
Fat Grafting Breast Reconstruction in Jacksonville
Fat grafting has significantly enhanced our ability to create more natural look
and feel to reconstructed breasts. Fat grafting fills the hollows above the
breast to create a fuller, softer, and more natural appearance to the superior
pole of reconstructed breasts. In addition, fat grafting can also fill the voids in
the middle to create more cleavage and medial fullness. Please call our Florida breast surgery team at (904) 262-DESAI (3372) to schedule a consultation and
