About Facial Fat Grafting with Dr. Shumway | San Diego, CA
Let’s be honest — we all want a great body. But the reality is that most of us have excess fat where we would rather not have it and lack volume in places where we want more fullness, such as the face, hands, or breasts. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could take fat from one part of your body and transfer it to another area that needs a little oomph? This may sound like wishful thinking, but it’s not. It is called facial fat grafting. This method by Dr. Robert A. Shumway can accomplish your beauty goals through harvesting your own fat via liposuction, then injecting it into your desired facial area. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and an experienced cosmetic surgeon who can skillfully apply the purified fat to the desired parts of your face for lasting, beautiful results.
Nowadays, there are many treatments that rejuvenate the fullness and contours of your face; however, fat grafting to the face is increasing in popularity due to its natural-looking outcomes and long-lasting benefits for the skin. Lost volume, often caused by aging, is usually most prominent in the areas around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline. Fat grafting to the face can be used to diminish some of the more typical signs of aging, and it rebuilds fullness by smoothing lines, wrinkles, and folds throughout your face with your own fatty tissue. You don’t just see a rejuvenated facial appearance, but you get to improve your body as well. To find out more about fat grafting to the face, contact Shumway Cosmetic Surgery in San Diego, CA to make an appointment with Dr. Shumway. He will evaluate you personally to determine the best surgical technique for amazing results.

Facial Fat Grafting – Ideal Candidates
A fat transfer can help if you want to add volume that looks natural to certain places in your face. A transferring of fat to your face may improve wrinkles, such as laugh lines, smile lines, and Crow’s feet. Grafted fat may also reduce the visibility of acne scars and pitted areas. You may also enhance your cheeks and lips for a rejuvenated appearance. With results similar to an injectable wrinkle filler, such as Restylane® or Juvéderm®, a facial fat transfer is a great option if you’d like longer-lasting results. In order to be a candidate for a fat transfer, you need to have enough extra fat to fulfill your goals.
