How Does the Procedure Work?

Before the nano fat transfer procedure, patients will undergo a consultation to discuss their concerns, goals, and candidacy with Dr. Ghafouri, an expert in facial plastic surgery. The process of nano fat grafting can be performed under local anesthesia. First, unwanted fat is harvested from donor sites such as the abdomen or thighs using minimally invasive liposuction techniques. Once the fat is harvested, it goes through a processing stage where it is emulsified and filtered so that just the nano-sized fat particles are obtained. The processed fat is then injected or micro-needled back into facial skin.

What are the Benefits of Nano-Fat Grafting?

Due to its regenerative properties, nano fat grafting offers long-lasting solutions to varying concerns, including:

• Dark circles under the eyes
• Pigmentary issues
• Scar revision and acne scar
• Skin texture and tone
• Loss of elasticity and wrinkles
• Thinning hair

Unlike dermal fillers, there is no risk of an allergic reaction from a nano fat grafting procedure because each patient’s own fat is used. This makes it a great option for patients seeking natural facial rejuvenation without dramatically altering their appearances.

What Is the Difference Between Nano-Fat and Micro-Fat Grafting?

Micro-fat is the larger fat particles that are mostly injected for volume augmentation. The procedure is often referred to as “fat transfer”.  It provides structure and restores volume similar to commercially available dermal fillers. As we age, we lose our own natural fatty compartments in the different areas of the face resulting in hollowness. The micro fat transfer is typically injected in deep tissue planes. Common areas include; temples, around eyes, cheek, marionette lines, lips, jawline and chin.Nano-fat is actually the same micro-fat harvested that is further processed by filtration and emulsification steps, breaking up the fat cells and releasing their regenerative molecules such as varies growth factors and stem cells.

Nano-fat is injected into the superficial layer of skin. Nano fat transfer can be combined with CO2 laser skin resurfacing or RF micro-needling which enhances the rejuvenating powers of those treatments and significantly helps with healing and recovery. Nano fat injection is often combined with micro fat transfer for optimal volume restoration and skin rejuvenation.

Who Should Consider Nano Fat Grafting?

Nano fat grafting is ideal for restoring minor volume loss and skin rejuvenation. Therefore, individuals looking to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity can benefit from this procedure. Ideal candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good overall health. For this reason, Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists requires each patient to undergo a consultation before any procedure to evaluate each patient’s unique needs and determine their suitability for nano fat procedures. At your consultation, Dr. Ghafouri can discuss other facial surgery procedures to be used in combination with your facial fat transfer, depending on your specific needs and treatment goals.
