Fat Grafting in Mystic, CT
With fat grafting (also called fat transfer) in Guilford and Mystic, Connecticut, Dr. Beth Collins transfers surplus fat from one part of the body to another part of the body, often the face, to correct a contour depression. This treatment has many possible applications, but the most common is facial fat grafting. Dr. Collins performs fat grafting for men and women from New Haven, New London, and the shoreline areas who want to improve the appearance of sagging, hollowed areas of their faces.
Contact Dr. Collins at our Guilford location at (203) 689-5295 or Mystic location at (860) 572-6868 or request a consultation online to learn more about how facial fat grafting can help improve your appearance.

What Does Fat Grafting Do?
The procedure can be performed in an office or outpatient plastic surgery center. Local anesthesia is used to numb both sites for liposuction and injection. The fat to be transferred can be harvested from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or arms. Using a low-pressure syringe or liposuction cannula, a small amount of fat is removed. Before the injection, the fat is purified and prepared. The fat is then injected into the facial tissues, where wrinkle correction or augmentation is desired.
After Fat Grafting: What to Expect
You should expect some swelling, bruising and redness in both the donor and recipient sites in the first few days of recovery. Dr. Collins will provide instructions about how to care for the bandages that are applied to the injection site. The duration of results with fat grafting varies, and Dr. Collins can discuss the expected outcome with you during your visit.

In recent years, these products have become a more popular choice for wrinkle correction and facial contouring by plastic surgeons. However, fat grafting remains a viable and versatile technique for many treatments.
