Here’s the Skinny on Fat Grafting Skincare Treatments
““Fat is wonderful for augmenting a lift because you never want to only tighten the skin, you also want to add volume,” says board-certified New York plastic surgeon Melissa Doft, MD. More doctors are also using fat solo as a volume restorer—they claim it gives a softer, more natural look and also improves skin quality—and taking it (and sometimes Renuva, too) below the neckline to plump aging hands and address indentations caused by cellulite. Doft has even been repeatedly using fat for breast augmentations. “My favorite way of using fat is for somebody who wants to give breasts a little more fullness but doesn’t want something as robust as a traditional implant,” says Doft, noting that there are other areas, like the eyes and lips, that aren’t appropriate for fat grafting. Dr. Doft explains that this is because the skin is thinner in those areas so the fat can feel and look lumpy with any weight gain.”
