Surgery Spotlight: Blepharoplasty with Fat Injection: Part III

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses fat transfer techniques in facial rejuvenation. Tumescence is used initially for vasoconstriction, enhancing fat quality. The technique doesn't necessitate centrifugation, especially for small volumes, as literature suggests no survival benefit. Harvesting is done using a 10 cc syringe and a three-port cannula. The process focuses on three rejuvenation phases: skin texture, volume loss, and tissue ptosis. The speaker highlights a 25% overcorrection in fat transfer to account for anticipated volume loss, emphasizing a balanced, three-dimensional lift. Attention is given to nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and voluminous restoration for facial symmetry.
