Product Description

This series of four videos details the process of structural fat grafting of the face. It begins with donor site preparation through incision and anesthesia, followed by the careful harvesting of fat from treated areas. The harvested fat is then purified via centrifugation and meticulously injected into the lips using small aliquots and a fine Coleman cannula for optimal aesthetic results.
