It truly IS liquid gold! Except it’s not really a liquid, and it’s not really gold. But FAT is one of the most powerful tools in the hands of the modern plastic surgeon.
⠀
For many, fat is something they want to get rid of. In the eyes of the modern plastic surgeon, fat is an incredibly powerful tool that can help transform people’s bodies. When transferred to a site away from where it was taken, fat can add volume, change skin texture/tone and can completely change a person’s shape and proportions.
⠀
The reason why I say fat is a tool of the MODERN plastic surgeon is that for years, the correct way to transfer fat back into the body was not known. People used to just shoot a huge glob of fat somewhere and expect it to take. It didn’t! Through the work of many innovative physicians over the past 20–30 years, we realized that there is a very special way to transfer fat and doing so can give predictable and reliable results.
⠀
This now allows us to use our own tissue to achieve results that were previously impossible. It is the greatest lemons to lemonade story we have: take it from somewhere you don’t want and put it somewhere or you do!
⠀
Sidenote: do you know what the first attempt at breast augmentation used? It involves fat and it was a total disaster. Give me your best guess!
