REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

He is an excellent plastic surgeon. I appreciated that he was very conservative on what needed to be done, and the results were fantastic. So very natural looking. And yet it probably took off a good 15 years of aging and sagging. I recommend him to anyone who does not want a “pulled” look, but one that is almost impossible to tell that any surgery had been done. That is No. 1 in my book.

I am happy to recommend Dr. Raymond Lee to any patient looking to improve their appearance. I am very happy with the results people tell me I look 10 years younger.

REAL PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

I placed my trust in Dr. Lee’s talent and ability and the quality of his work exceeded my expectations. When the bandages were removed the next day, there was not a spot of dried blood; they were clean. There was absolutely no discomfort and I looked amazingly refreshed and about 15 years younger.

Fat Transfer vs Dermal Fillers

Published on January 21, 2019 by Raymond Lee

As we age, the face often loses its youthful fullness. In large part, this is due to the fact that fat naturally decreases over time. A lack of facial fat makes way to loose and sagging skin. Less voluminous, the face appears gaunt and seemingly hollow. A small amount of well-positioned fat in your face can restore a youthful vibrancy and can help to define your facial features. Relatively simple and uniquely beneficial—facial fat transfer (or fat grafting) is a natural way to permanently restore facial volume.

Fat transfer also provides a number of other advantages, including:

Smooths fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other types of skin depressions
Augments volume-deficient areas like the temples, cheeks, and lips
Long-lasting, natural-looking results
Little to no scarring in the treated facial areas

Whether it be our stomach, love handles, buttocks, or thighs—every one of us has a stubborn area that we are not pleased with. Through liposuction, fat is harvested from a troublesome area, creating a slimmer, and more sculpted look. The liposuctioned fat is then treated to remove impurities before being injected into the facial area.

Similar to dermal fillers—facial fat transfer restores volume to the face. While injectable treatments are a wonderful to temporarily restore lost volume, they are just that, a short-term solution. The results from facial fat transfer can last considerably longer, and in many cases, offer a permanent rejuvenation. As a long-lasting solution, facial fat transfer can be considerably more cost effective than repeat injections of dermal fillers.

As you are replacing “like with like”—in this case, fat with fat—facial fat transfer can give you the most natural results. When done successfully, the injected fat establishes a new blood supply from your body. This helps to not only give your face a natural fullness, but also have a natural feel. By harvesting fat, you also greatly reduce the chance of an allergic reaction as no foreign substance enters your body.
