Fat Cell Transfer

Dr. Roche is among the leading cosmetic surgeons in the Detroit area when it comes to fat transfers. Facial rejuvenation can be greatly enhanced if three dimensional contouring is added. Fat can be removed from where it isn’t needed (jowls, neck, etc.) and placed (microlipoinjection) where it is needed (lips, nasolabial grooves, chin, etc.). Fat is the ideal filler because there is no concern of allergies, rejection or movement.

In the ’90s, fat transfer’s reliability and longevity was greatly improved. Microlipostructure’s multiple thin strips of compacted fat injected in multiple crisscross layers provides lasting face building. In some areas multiple injections are needed (lips), in others only one is necessary (eyes).

Often patients ask Dr. Roche to remove fat from one area, but put it to use somewhere else. It is possible to sculpt an area of excess fat and meticulously inject your own fatty tissue into areas where aging has caused fatty deposits to deteriorate. The most common areas of fat injection/fat sculpture are in the area of the brows or under the eyes to fill in a gaunt or sunken in look. Other areas include marionette lines or nasolabial folds. Fat transfers also can be applied to the hand, “Brazilian butt-lift,” earlobes, breasts and areas that need lipo repairing.
