Dr. Hatef’s work in the area of plastic surgery has been responsible for some major discoveries in the field – namely, that fat in the body is compartmentalized by fascial membranes in predictable ways. This hard-won revelation is making a major difference in the field of injections and fillers today, and it informs the treatments Dr. Hatef provides for patients today.
Dr. Hatef’s Experience in the Field of Fat Compartments
Dr. Hatef served as the anatomical research fellow in the Department of Plastic Surgery at UT Southwestern in Dallas for 3 years. During this time, through three straight years of days in the operating room, nights in the anatomy lab, and weekends analyzing and researching their results, they uncovered the fact that fat in the body is compartmentalized by fascial membranes in a very predictable manner. Dr. Hatef is so proud of those accomplishments, as they were not easily obtained.
How Dr. Hatef’s Discoveries Have Changed the Field
As the fat compartments lose fat and their membranes deteriorate, they change shape, leading to the appearance of the aged face. A combination of re-tensioning them and re-filling them can turn back the clock on facial aging. This work is something that Dr. Hatef is very proud to have taken part in, and they inform the treatments he offers today – he happy to have this knowledge to offer to his patients!
