You may be a candidate for a fat transfer if you have indentations in your skin, depressed scars, or wrinkles. The intended result of a fat transfer is to minimize facial and other skin wrinkles and depressions. Fat injections can also be used to add volume to the lips or restore youth to the hands.
A fat transfer may require sedation plus local anesthesia if larger amounts of fat are to be collected. Small amounts of fat can be collected and transferred under local anesthesia. The patient’s own fat is collected (suctioned) from a distant donor area and re-injected into the defect area.
