What are Fat Injections?
Fat injections involve the injection of one’s own fat– taken from other parts of the body– into the lips or to fill fine lines and wrinkles.
What Should I Know About Fat Injections?
In concept fat injections and other procedures that involve the transfer of one’s own fatty tissues is attractive and as such, many plastic surgeons like injecting fat. Unfortunately, the longevity of fat transfer is unpredictable, even in expert hands. For this reason, Dr. Fodor prefers hyaluronic acid fillers (see Restylane & Juvederm) for facial augmentation over fat. Fat injections in the facial area require “maintenance” for lasting results. On the other hand, in other parts of the body, where blood supply is less abundant than in the face and therefore absorption is less likely, Dr. Fodor often uses fat harvested from one area of the body and transfers to another area of the body usually for the purposes of secondary (re-do) liposuction deformities. His preference for fat, in this case, is also based on the fact that commercially available filler materials would be prohibitively expensive to use in the volumes required in secondary (re-do) liposuction.
How Much Do Fat Injections Cost?
The cost for fat injections will vary depending on the severity of your case and techniques used for treatment. At your consultation, Dr. Fodor will be happy to discuss your options and cost based on your needs.

I am really happy with my rhinoplasty that I had done with Dr Peter Fodor. I highly recommend getting it done if you are considering plastic surgery. I only wish that I had gotten it done sooner. Everything has changed for the better. I feel better about myself and my outlook on life has skyrocketed. Plastic surgery is not just for women. Thank you so much.

Dr. Fodor is the most minding and expert specialist. He sets aside the opportunity to clarify and respond to every one of my inquiries. He is with you each progression of the procedure and catches up with telephone calls when you are recouping at home. My experience was easy with great outcomes.

I found Dr Fodor extremely professional and thorough. He took time to show me the x-rays and explain the procedure he would do and why in regards to removing a large bump on my forehead. Previously I had a consultation with another doctor who was very negative. Reviewing Dr Fodor’s impressive credentials I am confident he will do a great job with my challenge and I feel blessed to have found him.
