Facial Fat Grafting

Facial Fat grafting is the only procedure that addresses the symptoms and causes of aging. Facial Fat grafting is unique in that it addresses the cause of aging, repairing bone and soft tissue atrophy while slowing the aging process. The vast majority of patients in my practice look five years younger after fat grafting. Facial Fat grafting is an acquired skill and very technique dependent. I have lectured and published on this subject and have built a solid reputation for great results with this procedure.

Once certain conditions are present, you cannot substitute fillers in place of a face lift. Once soft tissue descent is present and Ulthera® is not deemed an option, a face lift is advised. While a more emotional investment for the patient, the results are routinely highly successful. How do you quantify success? I would define it as replacing what is missing and tightening the underlying facial structures to their former, youthful position without visible scars for a refreshed, natural appearance devoid of any pulling or obvious intervention. Although a difficult emotional decision, to attempt to use fillers when only a lift will do is to risk a much less natural result. Overusing fillers can leave you with as bizarre an outcome as an overdone face lift.

Important Information Regarding Fat Grafting

Facial fat grafting and Profound® RF are a powerful combination therapy

Profound® RF is either done before fat grafting to reduce skin redundancy relative to skeletal volume and shape, or alternatively many years after surgery when the patient returns saying, “My fat is gone.” In actuality, the facial skin sleeve or skin size is simply too big for the underlying fat grafted structure, not unlike a bodybuilder wearing an overly large garment such that their underlying definition cannot be appreciated. Dr. Kornstein’s facial muscle rejuvenation technique minimizes or eliminates the redundancy of the forehead, eye, and mouth muscles, thereby successfully addressing transverse forehead wrinkles, low brows, crow’s feet, baggy lower lids, long upper lips, “smoker’s lines”, downturned mouth corners, and thin lips. This reduces or eliminates the need for neurotoxins like Botox® used as a Band-Aid for redundancy of these muscles, as well as the loss of muscle volume of the lips commonly treated with filler.

An FDA approved anti-inflammatory radio-frequency device called “IVIVI” or Soft Pulse® dramatically enhances recovery

Since January 2010 the use of an FDA-approved radio-frequency halo post-operatively used while at home has dramatically enhanced the rate of recovery. Proven to be safe in over ten years of clinical testing, it is in fact presently being studied to reduce head trauma in US soldiers. At this time 90% of our patients return to their normal activities within two weeks.
