LIPOSUCTION AND FACIAL FAT TRANSFER FELLOWSHIP
Session 1:
Introduction
- History and evolution of liposuction & fat grafting
- Rationale for autologous fat transfer in facial aesthetics
- Comparison with fillers and synthetic materials
- Safety and regulatory considerations
Session 2:
Anatomy & Patient Selection
- Facial fat compartments and age-related volume loss
- Donor site considerations (abdomen, thighs, flanks, etc.)
- Patient evaluation and indications for fat transfer
- Contraindications and risk assessment
Session 3:
Liposuction for Fat Procurement
- Principles of tumescent anesthesia
- Cannulas and instrumentation for atraumatic harvesting
- Techniques for gentle aspiration (syringe vs suction-assisted)
- Factors affecting adipocyte viability during harvest
Session 4:
Fat Processing and Purification
- Sedimentation, filtration, and centrifugation methods
- Removal of tumescent fluid, blood, and oil
- Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and regenerative cell components
- Storage considerations (fresh vs cryopreservation)
Session 5:
Techniques of Facial Fat Transfer
- Microfat vs Nanofat vs SVF-enriched grafts
- Injection techniques (microdroplet, threading, fanning)
- Commonly treated areas:
- Tear troughs & periorbital hollows
- Cheeks & midface augmentation
- Lips & perioral region
- Nasolabial folds & marionette lines
- Jawline & chin contouring
- Temporal hollowing
- Volumetric facial sculpting vs subtle rejuvenation
Session 6:
Indications and Applications
- Aesthetic uses: anti-aging, contour enhancement, soft-tissue volume restoration
- Reconstructive uses: post-trauma, scar improvement, congenital deformities
- Fat as a regenerative tool: skin texture improvement, acne scar remodeling, radiodermatitis
- Combination with other modalities (PRP, i-PRF, stem cell concentrates)
Session 7:
Complications and Management
- Donor site complications (seroma, contour irregularities)
- Recipient site complications (over/under correction, nodules, cysts, fat necrosis, infection)
- Rare but serious risks (embolism, blindness)
- Prevention and management protocols
Session 8:
Post-Procedure Care and Outcomes
- Post-op instructions for donor and recipient sites
- Expected recovery timeline and longevity of results
- Factors influencing graft survival
- Clinical photography and objective assessment tools
Session 9:
Advances and Future Directions
- Stem cell–enriched fat grafting
- Nanofat for skin rejuvenation
- Role of exosomes and biologics in enhancing fat graft survival
- Emerging technologies in fat harvesting and injection
Session 10:
Hands-on Training & Case Discussions Live demonstrations
- Step-by-step supervised practice (harvesting → processing → injection)
- Complication case studies and how to manage them
- Ethical considerations and patient communication
