About this case
The patient has an acne atrophic skin disease on the left cheek. The etiology was further unknown. The result was obtained in two sessions:
The result is simply gorgeous...
- First a lipofilling was performed with micro-fat from the umbilical area. This to restore the volume of the sunken-in area. The peculiarity of micro-fat is that the harvested fat lobules are smaller than 1 mm. Small lobules of fat take more easy in their new embedded environment than bigger ones.
- In a second procedure (three months later) the texture of the skin was enhanced with nano-fat, harvested from the same umbilical region. Nano-fat is a rather new concept in the facial rejuvenation story and is processed from micro-fat. Nano-fat contains only the stem cells present in the harvested micro-fat. The fat cells themselves are removed. In fat tissue there is indeed a huge reservoir of stem cells. The nano-fat is injected with a sharp needle, most superficially in the dermis. It is known to enhance the texture and quality of the skin.
The result is simply gorgeous...
