Renuva as an adjunct procedure to Facial Fat Grafting

DOWNERS GROVE, IL, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fat grafting is a vital part of a modern facelift. Many anatomical studies have pointed out the loss of volume in the superficial fat pads of the face with aging Microfat grafting allows the surgeon to use fat from another part of your body to address volume deficiencies in your face. The most common areas for fat transfer to the face are: cheeks, nasolabial folds, corners of mouth, infrabrow area, temples, and the prejowl sulcus. The factors that determine the viability and longevity of the fat transfer are related to the donor site and recipient site of the fat graft.

Age is an important factor in the viability and longevity of facial fat transfers with older patients experiencing lower rates of fat "take" or survival in facial fat transfer. Renuva is an injectable allograft adipose matrix made from purified, sterilized donor fat tissue designed to restore lost volume and stimulate the body to grow its own new fat cells. "The donor fat for Renuva is taken from younger patients, and can be used to enhance the facial fat grafting survival rate in older facelift patients, " says double-board certified plastic surgeon Robert J. Paresi Jr., MD, MPH. Renuva can be used in a facelift procedure as a stand alone injection in place of the patients own fat, or can be used in combination with the patient's fat in older patients. This is a great option for facelift patients over 65 to enhance their overall results.
