Discover how the two procedures restore facial volume and improve skin quality
Fat transposition and fat grafting are gaining prominence in discussions about facial rejuvenation. Understanding the concept and the differences between these two procedures is essential for patients seeking to address the signs of aging caused by a lack of volume in the face.
In grafting, fat is harvested from other areas of the body, such as the inner thigh, the knees, or the area around the navel, and then injected into specific areas of the face.
It is a procedure that offers significant advantages for rejuvenation, as it improves skin quality and effectively restores facial volume.
On the other hand, transposition – or repositioning – uses fat from the lower and upper eyelid bags to add volume to nearby areas, such as the tear trough or the A-frame deformity, benefiting patients with pronounced hollows in the orbit.
But note: both techniques, fat grafting and fat repositioning, have very specific indications. When applied inappropriately, they can cause problems such as prolonged edema and impaired circulation.
When correctly indicated, these procedures can be performed during eyelid or facial surgery, maximizing the benefits of the surgical interventions.
