The natural aging process for most people can have a dramatic effect on their facial features. Normally as people get older, the layer of fatty tissue that lies just beneath the skin starts to shrink. As this layer of fat that supports your skin gets thinner, your face's shape can change. Your cheeks may flatten or you may develop wrinkles around your eyes and mouth as a result of this disappearing support.
This process allows to transfer some of the patients own fat tissue from other areas of their bodies where it is not wanted to replace the layer of support needed on their faces. In essence, you are simply replacing the missing fat tissue that was present when you were younger with other fat tissue from your own body. This is a very natural and successful approach for treating these cosmetic problems that can deliver amazing results.
