Post Are You A Candidate For Fat Grafting?

When we age our underlying collagen and elastic begin to break down and wrinkles emerge. This along with facial fat loss, brings about a haggard, hollow or even skeletal look. If you are not overly skinny, with a major metabolism and have a little extra fat somewhere on your body to spare you may be a good candidate but only if...

First and foremost, an individual must be in good health, not have any active diseases or pre-existing medical conditions and must have realistic expectations of the outcome of their surgery. Although attempts can be made if a patient has lipodystrophy. It is often the case that the fat does not remain and injectable fillers may be a viable option.

Communication is crucial in reaching one's goals. You must be able to voice your desires to your surgeon if he/she is to understand what your desired results are. Discuss you goals with your surgeon so that you may reach an understanding with what can realistically be achieved.

You must be mentally and emotionally stable to undergo an cosmetic procedure. This is an operation which requires patience and stability in dealing with the healing period. There is sometimes a lull or depression after surgery and if there is already a pre-existing emotional problem, this low period can develop into a more serious issue. Please consider this before committing to a procedure.

Thanks for that information! I agree that a person needs to be healthy, communicative, and emotionally prepared to go through a fat grafting procedure.
