How Does It Work?
Sometimes called fat grafting, fat transfer to treat scars takes fat from one part of your body and injects it under the scar, thus filling the area. The procedure is actually fairly simple. During your consultation session with us, you’ll identify areas of problem fat – those spots you just can’t seem to eliminate through diet and exercise. Often these spaces are around the belly or the thighs, but they could also be the back or the arms. Using liposuction, the fat cells are taken from the donor area, processed to remove any impurities, then injected under the scar to create smooth, even skin. The results are usually noticeable right after the procedure, but they will be more prominent when the swelling associated with the procedure decreases a few days after it is complete.
Is It Right For You?
If you think fat transfer to treat scars might be the right procedure for you, you’ll want to book a consultation with us immediately.
