Micro fat fill, also known as microfat grafting or microfat transfer, is a cosmetic procedure that involves transferring small amounts of fat from one area of the body to another. It is a technique similar to nanofat fill but uses slightly larger fat particles. In micro fat fill, fat tissue is harvested from a donor site on the patient’s body, typically through liposuction.
The harvested fat is then processed to remove impurities and excess fluids. The fat is carefully emulsified and purified to create a concentrated solution of small fat particles. The purified solution, containing micro fat, is then injected into specific areas that require augmentation or rejuvenation.
The procedure is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, filling in areas with loss of volume, enhancing contours, and improving skin texture. Micro fat fill is particularly effective for addressing deeper wrinkles, hollowed areas, and larger volume deficiencies. The larger size of the fat particles allows for more significant volume restoration compared to nanofat fill.
As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can assess your individual needs and determine if micro fat fill is suitable for you. They will evaluate your desired outcome, overall health, and the specific areas you wish to treat to determine the best approach and potential risks associated with the procedure.
