Micronized Fat Therapy in Tampa, FL
A Cushioning, Biologically Active Support From Your Own Fat
Some joints and soft tissues need both cushioning and support to recover. Micronized fat is a regenerative option that may be recommended after Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez evaluates your situation.
What it is
Micronized fat, also called micro-fragmented adipose tissue, is a treatment made from a small amount of your own fat. The fat is gently collected and mechanically processed into a fine, biologically active concentrate. This concentrate can act as a cushion and can support injured tissues by helping to reduce inflammation and encourage healing.
How it works
The area is numbed for your comfort.
A small amount of fat is collected through a gentle mini-liposuction, often with ultrasound guidance.
The fat is processed into a micro-fragmented concentrate.
The concentrate is injected into the target area using imaging for accuracy.
Delivery options
Image-guided harvest, done as a mini-liposuction, and targeted injection.
Micronized fat is commonly considered for joint, tendon, and soft tissue conditions. Because it uses your own tissue, it is an autologous treatment.
