As we age noticeable changes occur to our faces. We start to notice lines and wrinkles and our skin loses its collagen and elasticity. Our skin starts to loosen and begins to sag. The youthful glow that we once had starts to disappear and we lose volume and contour from our faces. All these changes become even more prominent the more we age. It’s a sad fact of life that our present lifestyles tend to make us look older than we really are and sometimes feel!
Surgical Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

The results of a Fat Transfer procedure can vary between individuals and may be long-lasting. Different therapies can be combined to increase the survival rate of the fat transferred as well as providing cosmetic benefits.
Fat transfer is a relatively quick procedure with minimal discomfort and a speedy recovery, with most patients experiencing minimal bruising which disappears in a few days.
