Fat Grafting
Fat Grafting enhances the face and body using tissue collected from another area of the body. It is an amazing alternative to facial filler, using your own tissue to enhance the appearance of troublesome areas.
This non-surgical procedure uses a person’s own fat to correct contour deformities on the face and body and correct deep wrinkles or folds, most commonly in the areas around the eyes, furrows in the brow, deep cheek creases, and lip lines. There is no possibility of rejection or reaction, with long-lasting results. In some cases, the results can be permanent.

A consultation with Dr. Brady will determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure. The process starts with a comprehensive discussion about your goals, followed by a careful examination.
The necessary fat is harvested by a simple liposuction procedure through one or several tiny incisions, normally from the abdomen or thigh. It is then cleaned and processed for injection. The fat is then injected where needed. The fat is evenly distributed into the area by injecting minute amounts in the tissues so that the injected fat is well surrounded by healthy tissue.
The procedure usually takes about an hour, depending on the size of the areas to be treated.
-
The treated areas will be slightly swollen and bruised for several days. This can be minimized by using cold packs.
Most of the swelling and bruising will be gone in 5 - 7 days.
