There’s no denying that we’re in a new era of fat loss. Thanks to GLP-1s, achieving weight goals is easier and more realistic than ever before. But with weight loss comes volume loss, which can leave some body parts, particularly the face, looking sunken, hollow, and lacking a healthy glow. While fillers and biostimulators can help reverse the visible effects of volumetric changes associated with Ozempic face and butt, for years plastic surgeons have known the best-kept secret to replacing what’s been lost: fat, the gold standard filler.
Not everyone who wants to drop a few pounds on the scale also wants to eradicate their precious facial, breast, and butt fat. Up until now, there have been two main schools of thought: either preserve as much fat beforehand by pacing out weight loss via a strategic, proactive approach or refill what’s been lost. But what about harvesting your fat before it disappears and freezing it, a.k.a. fat banking, so that it’s accessible for future aesthetic rejuvenation procedures?
