Fat transfer can be used to elevate acne scars.


This technique is aslo known as microlipoinjection or fat grafting; fat cells are tranferred from one part of a patient’s body to another to fill in defects such as acne scars.

The Surgeon cleans and numbs the site from wich the fat will be extract and the site to wich it will be transferred. Hi then withdrawsfat tissue with a siringe or a cannula similar of that used for liposuction, separates fat cells from the other tissue, and injects the cells into the approppriate site, repeating the process until it is necessary for a good result.

Possible complications include infection, scarring and nerve or blood vessel damage during surgery.
Discoloration and swelling can last for several days or weeks, depending on the size of the filled area.
