Have you ever thought about enhancing your facial volume and contour with fillers? According to Dr. Gabriele C. Miotto, a plastic surgeon and clinical associate professor at Emory University School of Medicine, while fillers can provide immediate results, they may also lead to complications like scarring. That’s why she advocates for fat transfer as a superior option for volumization, with Renuva being a strong alternative.
In Atlanta, Dr. Miotto has observed an increasing number of younger individuals transitioning from traditional fillers to facial fat grafting and Renuva. Her preferred approach begins with fat transfer, which can be conveniently performed while the patient is awake under local anesthesia. Following this, she recommends Renuva as a maintenance option. Renuva is particularly beneficial in areas where there is existing fat, as it creates a supportive structure for the body’s own fat cells to attach and thrive.
So, what exactly is Renuva? Unlike traditional fat cells, Renuva is an adipose-derived extracellular matrix composed of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and proteins. This matrix facilitates the growth of the patient’s fat cells, which gradually replace it over time. Importantly, Renuva is derived from donated human tissue, and it undergoes rigorous screening and processing to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
Dr. Evi Chnari, a senior director at MTF Biologics, elaborates that Renuva is subjected to biocompatibility testing and is sterilized before it is made available for use. Dr. Saranya P. Wyles, a dermatologist and regenerative medicine researcher at Mayo Clinic, confirms that products like Renuva are processed in sterile conditions and sourced from donated human tissue while adhering to FDA and AATB regulations.
In summary, Renuva presents a safe and effective option for individuals eager to enhance their facial aesthetics without the prolonged recovery and discomfort associated with surgical procedures. It’s no surprise that many patients are willing to travel considerable distances to find practitioners who offer Renuva.
