The Nano Fat Grafting Journey
Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which Dr. Korentager evaluates your facial structure, areas of volume loss and skin quality. You’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns, allowing him to develop a customized treatment plan. He’ll also identify appropriate donor sites for fat harvesting and explain the nano-fat processing technique.
Procedure Day
You’ll arrive at our outpatient surgical facility, where the procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation. The process begins with gentle liposuction to harvest fat from donor areas, usually the abdomen or thighs. The harvested fat is then processed through specialized techniques to create nano-sized particles rich in stem cells and growth factors.
Dr. Korentager then strategically injects the nano-fat into predetermined areas using precise techniques to ensure optimal placement and survival. Depending on the extent of treatment, the entire procedure usually takes two to three hours. Most patients go home the same day with minimal discomfort.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery from nano fat grafting is generally more comfortable than traditional fat grafting due to the minimally invasive nature of the technique. You’ll experience some swelling and bruising at both donor and recipient sites, which is normal.
During the first week, avoid strenuous activities and follow post-operative instructions carefully. Most patients can return to work within three to five days, though some residual swelling may persist. The donor sites typically heal quickly with minimal discomfort.
Full results develop gradually over several weeks to months as the transferred fat integrates and the regenerative effects occur. Initial swelling subsides within the first few weeks, revealing the natural-looking volume restoration and improved skin quality.
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
Nano-fat grafting provides both immediate and progressive improvements that can last for years. The transferred fat cells that survive become permanent, while the regenerative effects continue to improve skin quality over time through ongoing collagen stimulation.
Results are typically long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their outcomes for five to ten years. The natural aging process continues, but you’ll maintain the improved volume and skin quality achieved.
To maximize longevity, maintain a stable weight, follow a good skincare routine with sun protection and avoid smoking. These habits help preserve both your results and overall skin health.
