For areas where you’re looking to fill in divots or dimples, dermal fillers may not be your preferred option. They may require retreatment and incur higher costs to achieve the results you want. Additionally, autologous fat transfer procedures can require incisions and downtime. Renuva® Fat Transfer is an option that doesn’t require liposuction and can add volume to your favorite areas.
WHAT IS RENUVA® FAT TRANSFER?
Renuva® is an allograft adipose matrix, meaning it’s made with fat tissue collected and purified from a donor. The donated fat undergoes rigorous screening and preparation, so no allergy test is required— this means it’s safe for most people. Specially engineered for optimal integration with your body’s tissues, it comes with little downtime since there’s no need for a liposuction procedure. With Renuva®, you can enjoy improved skin contours and reduced appearance of cellulite, dimples, and areas of age-related volume loss.
How Renuva Works
Renuva® works by providing a natural scaffold made from purified donor adipose tissue that supports your body’s own fat regeneration. Once injected, the matrix integrates with the surrounding tissue and promotes cell growth over time. As your body gradually replaces the scaffold with newly generated fat cells, volume is restored in a way that looks and feels natural rather than artificial or overfilled.
What Should I Know About Renuva?
Renuva® is designed for natural volume restoration rather than dramatic contour changes. Results develop gradually over several weeks to months, making it an ideal option for patients who prefer a soft, progressive improvement. Because Renuva® stimulates your body to regenerate its own fat, results tend to be longer-lasting than traditional fillers.
Good Candidates for Renuva
Patients who benefit most from Renuva® are those seeking effective volume restoration without surgery. Renuva® can be used in several ways, including correcting scarring from previous procedures, replenishing fat cells, treating minor skin defects and cellulite, and restoring volume in the hands. During a consultation, Dr. DiFrancesco will assess your goals and determine your best options with Renuva®.
What to Expect During Your Renuva Consultation
During your Renuva® consultation, your provider will evaluate your areas of volume loss, skin quality, and overall aesthetic goals. Your medical history and any prior treatments will be reviewed to ensure Renuva® is a safe and appropriate option. A personalized treatment plan will then be created to address your concerns while maintaining natural proportions and balance.
Preparing for Renuva
Preparing for Renuva® is typically simple and requires minimal changes to your routine. You may be advised to temporarily avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements to reduce the risk of bruising. Your provider will review all pre-treatment instructions with you to help ensure a smooth treatment experience and optimal results.
Your Renuva Treatment
Renuva® takes only a few minutes, compared with a traditional fat grafting procedure. We can apply a topical anesthetic during the injection process for your comfort. Dr. DiFrancesco will carefully inject new fat cells into your treatment areas to achieve a natural, subtle improvement. Once your ideal results are achieved, you can return home.
Steps for Renuva
The Renuva® process begins with cleansing the treatment area and, if needed, applying a topical anesthetic for comfort. The product is then carefully injected into the targeted areas using precise techniques to ensure even distribution and natural contours. The entire process is efficient and typically completed in just a few minutes.
Renuva Risks and Recovery
Renuva® is well-tolerated and carries minimal risk when administered by an experienced provider. Some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. There is no required downtime, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Maintaining Renuva Results
There’s no downtime required for your Renuva treatment, and you can return to your regular schedule immediately. After your treatment session, you’ll notice immediate results, where your skin looks fuller and smoother. Although it can take a few months before you begin to see your final results, you’ll notice even more improvement as time goes on. Most patients require only one treatment session because the fat remains in place long term.
Why Should I Choose a Plastic Surgeon for Renuva?
Choosing a plastic surgeon for Renuva® ensures advanced knowledge of anatomy, volume restoration, and aesthetic balance. Dr. DiFrancesco’s training allows for precise placement and careful customization, especially in areas requiring subtle correction. This expertise helps maximize safety while achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results.
