Question 1

How Do Fat Injections Work?

Accepted Answer

Fat injections, often combined with facelifts and other facial treatments, help smooth wrinkles and restore volume to sunken areas. The procedure involves three simple steps:

Harvesting fat using thin cannulas.
Preparing the fat for injection.
Injecting it at precise depths to enhance volume.

Dr. Craig, a board-certified plastic surgeon, employs advanced techniques to maximize fat cell survival, leading to long-lasting results as the injected fat integrates with the surrounding tissue. He has successfully performed this procedure for patients for over 25 years.
