Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Lucere Fat Transfer work
Fat transfer works by relocating the body’s natural fat deposits. Liposuction is used to collect fat from any part of the body where there are excess fat reserves, typically the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. Fat transfer can therefore have a double effect: It reduces excess fat in problematic areas and transfers it to where it is needed.
The ‘donor’ fat is then injected beneath the surface of the skin at the site to be treated. This immediately restores fullness and definition, effectively combating wrinkles, sagging, and the signs of ageing. As the procedure utilizes nothing but the patient’s existing fat reserves, it is considered a safe form of facial restoration surgery for most people.
Most Lucere Fat Transfer procedures take place under general anesthetic, and are usually complete within 2 to 4 hours. The subsequent recovery time varies from 1 to 2 weeks, in accordance with the nature and extent of the procedure performed.
All patients are provided with full disclosure of the potential risks associated with this procedure in advance, along with a detailed post-procedure guide to ensure the quickest possible recovery.
What areas of my body can be treated with a Lucere Fat Transfer?
Lucere Fat Transfer is a procedure for men and women, immediately resulting in a more youthful appearance. You can get your face treated. Lucere Fat Transfer enhances facial volume and definition, creating attractive contours and dramatically reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Can I achieve the same results with a non-surgical procedure?
It is not possible to fully replicate the results of a Lucere Fat Transfer procedure with an alternative non-surgical option. However, non-surgical treatments, such as dermal fillers, the Lucere InstaLift Threads, or Sculptra can make a major improvement to sagging skin. It can combat the signs of aging on a shorter-term basis.
When will I see the results?
Initial recovery following Lucere Fat Transfer takes around 1 to 2 weeks. You will then see a major improvement to the look of the treated area. However, the full results of the surgery may not be visible until 3 to 4 months after the procedure, and further improvements may be noted over the next six months.
Are there scars left behind after a fat transfer procedure?
Both the removal of the fat and its relocation to problem areas of the face or other areas are conducted in a way that minimizes scarring. The injections take place in discreet locations, and all residual scars may gradually fade until they become virtually undetectable.
