We lose volume in our face as we get older. It’s very much like a balloon that deflates. That’s just a fact of life. Many people turn to large surgeries for a solution; sometimes trading an aging face for an unnatural-looking one is not the answer.

Today, we can fill-in anything from developing lines, to deep furrows, to thin lips, simply by drawing fat out from where you do not need it and injecting small amounts of it, into places you do. Using your own fat to build up that lost volume in your face will rejuvenate the entire facial area.

Dr. Boxrud has worked with fat for many years and will soon have published two articles on this subject. Fat can be used in conjunction with other procedures, to enhance volume and give patients a truly wonderful result. Procedures using your own fat are much less invasive, and have faster healing time and best of all; they can be done under local anesthesia.
