LifeCell, a leader in the science of regenerative medicine and tissue repair products, has introduced the REVOLVE TM System to offer fast, efficient and secure fat transfer processing in a range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.
Fat grafting involves harvesting and transferring adipose tissue or body fat from one area of the body to another. The technique is gaining in popularity with surgeons because it uses the patient's own tissue to enhance volume.
According to Dr. David Shafer, a plastic surgeon in New York City, patients are looking to undergo breast augmentation or buttocks enhancement, while others want to add more volume to their cheeks that has been lost with age.
Fat transfer (fat grafting) is a very popular choice when treating augmentation surgery patients who want to stay away from implants. With fat transfer, fat cells are taken from the patient's own body in an area such as the abdomen or thighs and then purified and transferred into the new area of choice.
