Ageing

The ageing face is a result of gravity pulling on the tissues all the time, as well as fat slowly disappearing. Face lifts tighten tissues, as a result of which the muscles of facial expression do not work naturally anymore, and the typical tight face is the result. The effects of of gravity and the loss of fat result in the tissues starting to hang, having lost all support.

The unnatural anti-ageing therapies

Injecting chemicals like collagen, hyaluronic acid and others only replace volume, without giving back any structure and support to the facial tissues. The body may react to these chemicals in several ways, indicating it does not want them. Face lifts are a drastic procedure where big wounds are created to access and dissect the tissues that are then tightened. Unnatural looks, a tight face, and unnatural muscle movement are the result.

The natural anti-ageing therapy

Fat contouring on the other hand is a much more natural way of counteracting the effects of aging, by restoring the fat in those areas where it has disappeared. No chemicals are used in this technique, and the procedure has been seen to result in lasting effects. Fat has been present in the human body ever since humans have been around. The technique of fat transfer has been successfully applied fro about 15 years now, and the effects are permanent, apart from normal ageing effects.

This technique does not interfere with the working of the muscles and the natural facial movements, as they have not been unnaturally tightened. The technique involves harvesting fat from your own body in a very special way. Using this special technique Mr Reuser allows most of the fat cells to live after having been transplanted under the skin, near where the muscles are. The muscles contain many blood vessels, improving the survival of the fat cells. Using techniques of injection that have evolved to the current state of the art method of "weaving". It is then possible not only to restore the fat layers of the skin, but also to accentuate certain contours of the face with natural, long lasting tissue.

Who will benefit?

The technique is useful in many deformities in the face, be they due to surgery, accidents or ageing. No standard recipe can be given for prospective patients, and if you are interested, you are encouraged to make an appointment for bespoke advice.
