Fat Injection
This is a relatively new procedure where we use your own fat to fill, augment or enhance a part of your body. This fat is harvested with a certain technique and processed and then injected to the designated area.
Dr. Tumi has been using fat graft to correct a deep scar since 1989. Now, he uses it for lip augmentation, cheek augmentation and breast augmentation. The result of fat augmentation could last longer and you may need more than one sitting to get the maximum result.
Advantages: 1) Use your own tissue – less reaction
2) Donor site benefit
3) The effect could last for longer.
Disadvantages: 1) Time consuming
2) Risk of fat embolism
3) Good technique of harvesting and delivering are vital for a good result.
