How long will the results last?
Survival of the fat cells depends on the gentleness of their harvesting, processing and injection as well as the injection technique. Injection of small volumes in multiple tracts into the recipient bed improves longevity by promoting vascularization of the grafted fat which needs blood vessel nourishment to survive. PRP, if used, also stimulates vascularization of the newly transplanted fat cells. The transplanted fat cells have the potential to last many years.
Fat injection treatment may need to be repeated if the volume is not sufficient. In the breast more than one injection (lipo augmentation) may be necessary to balance the size of the breasts. Survival of grafted fat tends to be greater in areas of less movement such as cheeks, breasts or back of the hands than in the lips and mouth which may need touch-up treatment if the fat is resorbed.
I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.
