As a result of weight loss and aging, the fullness in the face and various parts of the body is significantly reduced. To add volume to these areas and create fullness where needed, the non-surgical procedure undertaken is called fat injection. It involves transferring fat cells from specific areas of the body to the desired areas through injection. This procedure is particularly popular for creating fullness in the hips and breasts.
