Fat Grafting in Mystic, CT
With fat grafting, (also called fat transfer) in Guilford and Mystic, it is possible to transfer fat from a part of the body with ample fat to another part of the body, often the face, to correct a contour depression. There are many possible applications for this treatment, but the most common is facial fat grafting. Dr. Collins performs fat grafting to the fact on men and women from New Haven to New London and Mystic, CT, and the shoreline areas who want to improve the appearance of sagging, hollowed areas of their faces.

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.
