Why fat grafting is used for improving body contours

/in /by

It is not uncommon for adult men and women to want more volume on specific areas of their body and less volume on others.  For example, some women have excess fat around their midsection, but volume loss on the buttocks and thigh area. With procedures such as fat grafting, patients can remove fat from one area and move it to another to improve their body contours.

What is fat grafting?

Fat grafting is the harvesting and transplanting of fat on one area of the body to another. This treatment is minimally invasive and can help contour specific areas of the body that need volume enhancement while reducing fat in another. The transfer is done right in the office of Plastic Surgery Center of Hattiesburg as an outpatient procedure, and doesn’t take long to perform. Because the process is minimally invasive, most patients don’t need to take extensive time off of work and other activities.

Who is a candidate for fat grafting?

Men and women who are interested in contouring specific areas that require more volume while removing fat from elsewhere on the body may be considered appropriate candidates for the fat grafting process. Fat grafting is popular because it is simple and easy. It is also an affordable solution for patients who want to avoid more extensive procedures such as liposuction or implants. The best candidates are patients who are within their ideal weight range, have good overall health, and understand what can be achieved, realistically, with these treatments. During a consultation appointment at our practice, we can evaluate a patient and assess their needs. Our team can make recommendations regarding this or other procedures that might help them in achieving their body goals.

Augmenting various areas of the face using facial implants

/in /by

If you are interested in contouring your facial features for a more stunning, striking appearance, you may want to speak to the team at the Plastic Surgery Center of Hattiesburg about the advantages of using facial implants. Just like implants are used to contour the breasts or buttocks, implants are also available to help define one’s facial features. Some of the more common types of implants used by Drs. William Reno III and Paul Talbot include the chin and cheek implants.

  • Chin implant – patients with a weak chin that is either small or setback in the profile will find that a chin implant can make a dramatic difference in their appearance. The chin implant is placed in a way to improve facial structure and contour. It can make the jawline more apparent, ensuring a more chiseled appearance. At the same time, the chin implant can reduce the appearance of a double chin, or “submental fullness.” This can result in patients looking thinner in the face while ensuring the jawline in more dramatic in overall appearance.
  • Cheek implant – some patients will find that a cheekbone implant can dramatically change the facial structures in a positive way. With more defined cheekbones, patients will have a more defined look to the face. It also reduces fullness in the cheeks that might give a patient a more childlike look. The cheek implant is placed above the cheekbones to add improved definition while contouring the face for better aesthetics.

Am I a good candidate for cheekbone or chin implants?

The best way to find out if you are a good candidate for facial implants is to book a consultation visit with the surgeons at our facility.
