Although many surgeons perform fat transfer and fat grafting, Dr. Kenrick Spence and Dr. Fernando Ovalle have the exceptional training, knowledge and experience you want for this innovative enhancement facial rejuvenation method.

What makes fat transfer in Orlando so beneficial? It can sculpt your body while rejuvenating your face or hands.

Here's how it works: Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle use LipoStructure®, an innovative alternative to traditional liposuction, to harvest fat from one area of your body, such as your love handles or tummy pooch, thereby contouring that area. After purifying the harvested fat, they inject it into the targeted areas, such as hollows under the cheeks, the jawline, temples, brows or lips. Just as with injectable fillers such as Restylane®, men and women can look younger and more attractive after the procedure.

In addition, Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle often use fat in facial plastic surgery procedures such as facelifts, accentuating the rejuvenating benefits of the surgery. When desirable, Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle also perform fat grafting, which involves taking a small strip of fat and skin from one area of your body to enhance another. For example, a dermal fat graft can be performed to highlight your lip border.

Fat Transfer and Grafting Procedures

 Overview: For fat transfer and grafting, Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle harvest the fat from one area of your body, such as your hips or tummy, using LipoStructure, also known as the Coleman technique. The Coleman technique involves harvesting the fat gently by hand, which Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle have found protects the fragile fat, making the recovery process smoother and making results last longer. They then purify the harvested fat before injecting it into the targeted areas, such as cheek hollows or lips. Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle use a similar procedure for fat grafting.

What's special: If you're like most people, you probably have "trouble spots" that refuse to respond to diet and exercise, such as love handles, a tummy pooch, or a muffin top. At the same time, you may want to restore lost volume to your face. Imagine achieving both goals with a single procedure. Now you can with fat transfer or fat grafting.

During your consultation, Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle evaluate two key aspects:

  • The donor site from which to harvest the fat using LipoStructure
  • The areas to augment with the purified fat

Areas of the body that typically benefit most from LipoStructure, and thus serve as the best sources of fat to harvest, include the thighs, flanks, stomach and upper back. Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle usually perform fat transfer or fat grafting on an outpatient basis, often using only local anesthesia.

Two to three sessions typically are recommended to accomplish the best aesthetic results. During the first session, Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle usually focus on achieving the desired facial volume, with subsequent sessions devoted to refinement for elegant appeal.

In addition to using harvested fat for cheek hollows, temples, jawlines, facial creases, depressed scars and facial folds, Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle often perform fat transfer and fat grafting as part of:

Recovery & Results

The degree of swelling involved and the downtime needed varies depending on the amount of fat injected and the areas targeted. During your consultation, Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle will provide you with detailed instructions to ensure that your recovery period is as quick and comfortable as possible.

The benefits of fat transfer typically include:

  • Slimmer, sculpted regions of the body on which LipoStructure was performed
  • Glowing, healthy skin that looks more youthful in the areas treated, with signs of aging such as hollows under the cheeks filled in and the jawline beautifully sculpted. If fat grafting is performed on the lips, they will appear voluptuously full and exquisitely shaped.

To maintain the benefits of your procedure:

  • Follow a healthy diet and fitness program.
  • Ask Dr. Spence and Dr. Ovalle about an at-home skin care regimen.
