Fat Transfer Before & After Case 87

Washington DC facelift candidates often ask plastic surgeons if alternatives exist for a traditional facelift. While nothing yet replaces face lift surgery for its rejuvenating effect, non-surgical options have been developed that can improve one's appearance without the downtime of traditional facial cosmetic surgery. Part of the reason non-surgical treatments have exploded is from a better understanding of facial aging. The face does not merely sag with time, but also shrinks and loses volume in certain facial areas. Fat loss in the cheeks, around the eyes, and lips contribute to looking "older" or "tired".

This Washingtonian wanted to improve her neck contour that over-developed from excess neck fat and tighten the skin at the same time. As an active DC professional, she was not interested in traditional face lift surgery. After consultation with facelift surgeon Dr. Chaboki, she decided on a more conservative approach to facial rejuvenation would be appropriate for her at this time. She underwent neck liposuction, which removed excess neck fat and lifted the neck. In addition, her own fat was obtained via liposuction and injected to help restore a youthful appearance to her lower eye area, cheeks, and lips. Her natural face lift like results occurred with minimal downtime.
