Harvest and Re-injection Techniques for Fat Grafting for Aesthetic Uses and Stromal Derived Adipose Cell Preparation for Medical Application.
Harvest and Re-injection Techniques for Fat Grafting for Aesthetic Uses and Stromal Derived Adipose Cell Preparation for Medical Applications.
Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is a great income generator for your practice and is the ideal filler for patients and physicians. Given the choice, most patients will prefer their own tissues as compared to synthetic filler products and are intrigued by the concept of taking fat from one part of the body and putting it in another. Autologous fat costs nothing for the raw materials and has a minimal cost to harvest and prepare for re-injection. The patient receives more filler while the physician obtains a higher professional fee and profit from this procedure as compared to commercial "dermal filler" products. When larger amounts of fillers are needed, fat transfer/grafting is more economical to the patient and allows for a win-win situation for patient and physician.
Fat Transfer/Grafting allows a physician to diminish or eliminate the appearance of wrinkles, creases, furrows, smile lines and other depressions of the face and body naturally at little or no cost of dermal filler to the physician. Imagine, being able to charge $1,250 - $1,500 per treatment for this procedure and offer your patients a more permanent, safe, and more natural looking result by using the fat from one area and transplant that fat to either large areas of lipoatrophy or to the smallest of wrinkles and creases.
Additional Course Information
Course Overview
The Las Vegas Autologous Fat Transfer course is a great addition for expanding your aesthetic practice if you are based in Las Vegas, visiting, or in the surrounding areas.
With Autologous Fat Transfer, we give patients the ability to regain control of their bodies by giving them the choice to improve their appearance without worrying about allergies or secondary effects. By using the patient’s own body fat, practitioners can plump up, sunken, or modify certain areas of the face and body. Work with the abdomen, buttocks, hips, saddle bags, thighs, or jowls to reallocate fat and achieve the desired look. During the course, attendees will also learn to increase or decrease certain creases in the forehead, eyebrows, or work with the hollow area under the eyes, as well as plump up or improve the contour of the nose, the lips, and work the fat that may have been lost around the neck.
Prior to your visit to Las Vegas, you will receive a complete digital resource guide of forms, consents, and protocols with a detailed handout that outlines all the presentation content. Additionally, you will have access to our Members Portal where you will find the full course manual, protocols, reference materials, and other patient intake forms that you can integrate into your professional practice.
