Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a procedure used to improve the skin’s texture. It is used to smooth fine wrinkles and the uneven surfaces that result from scarring, acne, or similar problems.

To avoid discomfort, either local anesthetics and sedatives or a general anesthetic are used.

As we age, gravity repositions fat tissues, causing a decrease in volume in facial features, wrinkles and creases then become more prominent. Based on research, the loss of facial fat is a very significant component of facial aging. Breasts also lose volume and shape, while hips and thigh fat pads swell, along with the abdomen.

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. 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.
