fat grafting in Houston, Texas
Posted on December 20th, 2008 by Christopher Livingston MD PA
Liposuction has become a very common cosmetic procedure. The fat that is removed can be utilized rather than disgarded. Fat grafting can be a very satisfying procedure if done correctly. It can smooth contour irregularities after liposuction, augment, and correct facial deformities. I especially like it to augment the lips and smooth the lower eyelid after blepharoplasty. The recovery time is usually longer but the results are superior and most instances permenant.

Welcome back doctor!! We haven’t seen you in a while!!
This idea of harvesting fat is extremly interesting. Do you only use the fat from the lipo patient on themselves, or can you use fat from one patient to use on another?? Or maybe there’d be a problem with rejection from the other patient? Has anything been developed, or maybe done to use the skin of patients who have skin removal surgeries? Maybe to use on burn patients?
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this as well as more posts.
Merry Christmasand Happy NewYear!!
