Renuva Fat Transfer for the Hands, Face & Body

Renuva is an autologous fat transfer procedure that is used for restoring volume in the hands, face, and body. This off-the-shelf fat graft can be performed as a quick, in-office procedure. Extracellular matrix that contains proteins, collagens, and growth factors is preserved by processing adipose allograft.

The resulting matrix acts to support the cellular vascularization and repopulation at the injection site. Renuva is used where natural fat exists in the body.

Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton M. Sundin and Dr. Reps B. Sundin, provides Renuva Allogenic fat grafting procedure to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding communities.

Benefits and Features

Renuva is a form of allograft adipose matrix that helps in restoring volume. Cosmetic applications include nasolabial folds, cheeks, hand dorsum, and other areas. The procedure can be used in craniofacial and other reconstructive procedures for smoothing cellulite dimples and filling liposuction irregularities.

The treatment doesn’t require any downtime and can be performed in the doctor’s office. Renuva doesn’t require general anesthesia and eliminates the small volume fat requirement.

How Does Renuva Work?

Renuva gets replaced with the body’s fat once injected. The body repopulates the area with adipocytes for enhancing volume. Replacement volume largely depends on the injection and dilution. However, in most cases 50% of Renuva that is injected is replaced in volume. As per research performed on mice, the replaced volume is usually greater than the volume replaced during autologous fat.

You are ready to go when you open a box of Renuva as opposed to injecting fat harvested from other body parts. The procedure is efficient, simple, and cost-effective as compared to other procedures. The compound provides additional benefits in the form of improving skin elasticity, texture, and thickness in the treatment areas. This is because of the naturally occurring growth factors.

Treatment Areas

Renuva is mostly used on the buttocks and other areas, such as the hands and face. It works for filling liposuction divots that smooth out cellulite in combination with other procedures. The compound can be used in areas that lack volume because of genetics or aging. The injection technique is similar to fat grafting.

Advantages of Renuva

Renuva allogenic fat grafting is an off-shelf treatment, which is a major advantage. You don’t need to harvest fat in this procedure. Fat harvesting is invasive and requires recovery time. Many patients don’t possess enough fat for transplant, especially if large volume is required. Renuva makes it possible to restore volume with the patient’s own collagen and fat.

This is one of the reasons why Renuva offers longer lasting results. Fat cells are generally replaced every 10 years in the body. Dermal fillers don’t last for more than a year. Hence, volumizing an area with dermal fillers doesn’t provide persistent results.

Renuva growth factors remain in the injected area for a long time. Directly injected growth factors dissipate in any part of the body will dissipate rapidly. This doesn’t happen with Renuva.

Non Surgical Butt Lift Using Sculptra And Renuva

Injectable Butt Lift (IJBL) procedure with Renuvion and Sculptra adds instant volume as well as causes the stimulation of new collagen production in the buttocks. This procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to the traditional BBL procedure.

It features several small injections for lifting, contouring, and adding volume to the buttocks. Butt lift with Sculptra and Renuvion is a perfect option if you want a rounder butt that enhances your body proportion without the need to go under the knife.

Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by board certified plastic surgeons Dr. Burton M. Sundin and Dr. Reps B. Sundin, provides Injectable Butt Lift (IJBL) non-surgical procedure to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and surrounding locations.

How Does It Work

Sculptra is a unique filler injection which contains poly-L-lactic acid instead of hyaluronic acid in its gel formulation. When injected into the sub-dermal layers of the skin, Poly-L-lactic acid prompts the body to produce collagen, which is a protein that provides structure to bones, joints, and skin.

With age, the production of collagen slows down. This is when the buttocks may start losing their shape and volume. Collagen can help improve the definition and shape of your buttocks by injecting Sculptra in the buttocks.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

You would be asked to lie down on your stomach during the Sculptra injectable butt lift. The site of the injection will be sterilized and an anesthetic may be applied topically. This is to reduce any discomfort. The surgeon will bandage over the treatment area after completing the injections.

The entire procedure takes about 20 – 30 minutes. There is no downtime involved in the procedure. Sculptra stimulates volume in the injection site by stimulating the production of collagen. The results take a few weeks to months to appear and last for as long as 5 years as per reports.

A second procedure may be performed after 4 – 6 weeks. This can effectively increase the butt volume. You only need local anesthesia for this in-office procedure. Sculptra can be used for reducing cellulite as well.

Buttock Skin Tightening with Renuvion

Your treatment provider will make small incisions on the skin. They will place a special device under the skin to exert helium plasma energy on the target area. The helium plasma helps in tightening the skin. It also stimulates collagen production in the skin so that skin tightening occurs over the next few months.

Renuvion skin tightening procedure can usually be performed in less than an hour. It is less invasive as compared to other aesthetic skin procedures. You would require to be gentle with your skin for a minimum of 3 weeks once the procedure is over. The results following this will last for a few years if you are careful.

What to Expect Following an Injectable Butt Lift?

You would need to give some time to see noticeable results after the procedure. This is because the injections slowly boost the production of collagen. However, within a short frame of time, you should be able to see noticeable changes to your buttocks.
